This is wonderful. I used canned cream style corn instead so I omitted the water. Used homemade salsa and was wonderful. Definately a keeper.

We made this in our 6th grade Home and Career Skills class and we really liked it. To quote Brian "it's like a liquified burrito without the shell".

This was very good! I used the roasted chicken plus some dried onions and some garlic. It was great!!

So good, so easy! To speed it up even more- use pre-cooked chicken fajita strips!

Yummy! I substituted ground turkey for the chicken, and added onion, garlic and cilantro. Excellent!

I have substituted the salsa for green enchilada sauce and it is a wonderful change! Add tortilla chips as you would with tortilla soup.
