This was exactly what I was looking for - a recipe to use as a solid base, and then add stuff to it.<br/>I used 3 chicken breasts, 3 cups of soup, a red bell pepper, a can of corn, frozen peas, chickpeas, butter beans and red kidney beans. cheese and corn chips as per recipe. We had no tabasco, so it was definitely missing something, but still very moorish! Very easy recipe, and one I'm sure to make again and with endless variations.
