Love this recipe. We took this camping and it was a perfect meal. You can dress it up or just eat plain. I am passing out the reicpe to all my friends.

This is just about the easiest recipe ever. It is really good but nothing fancy. We wrapped it in warm tortillas.

This came out really good. I used medium salsa and pinto beans instead of black beans because my husband doesn't like them. I made enchiladas out of this and they were really tasty. Will definitely make these again!

This is a great recipe! I love it! Sometimes it has a little more broth to it than I would like...it makes it more soupy. So, I cut down the broth a little!

Love this recipe. Would use at least a medium salsa; mild doesn't give it enough kick.
