This was a perfect lunch today! Since I'm cooking for one this week I took the easy way out; bought a bag of frozen mexican veggies, which included, corn, black beans, onions and peppers. Cooked them for a few seconds in the microwave. Added them on top of diced chicken breast and then topped off with a Mexican cheese mixture, tomato, onion and cilantro. Yummy! Thanks Sue for sharing! Made for ZWT 5 Mexico -
Bought dh a quesadilla maker and we made this recipe for our first try. WHAT a hit. Thank you so much sue, I used a rotissere chicken and shredded it up, used 10 inch flour tortillas and left the tomato off because I am the only one that would eat them. Thanks for a great recipe that will be used again. :) -
ABSOLUTELY EXCELLENT and EASY!!! Double winner in my book! Was running short on time and used these as a side dish to recipe #263966. I bought pre-cooked chicken and used sour cream as the only option. WONDERFUL! They really paired well with my other dish. We are going to bed HAPPY tonight! Thanks for posting! -
My husband and son said to give this 5 stars. It was easy to put together and looked pretty too. I left out the chicken for me and added guacamole. Thanks Sue! -
