This is a great recipe, easy to make. The WHOLE family loved it, all three fussy opinionated teenagers included! I added an extra 8 ounces of chicken breasts and served with french bread. Next time I'll fry more tortillas. Everyone looks forward to having it again.

Sometimes the light's all shinin' on me;
Other times I can barely see.
Lately it occurs to me What a long, strange trip it's been.
