I make these to accommodate various food allergies in our family. Served with a simple green salad, it's a meal my family enjoys together. —Christine Schenher, Exeter, California

Easy enough for my husband to make! Tasted good and the kids could customize their toppings.

This was fabulous! I added mushrooms and a can of black beans to the chicken mixture, and I added some diced zucchini to the avocado salsa. I served it with regular salsa and chipotle tobasco. YUM! This will be a keeper that we will make frequently in our home.

i loved that it was simple & quick to make. I added a little more water and simmered a little longer to let the spices marry with the chicken. I did not have any limes so used lemon juice for the salsa, turned out great! will definitely make again!
