I made this on a whim one Sunday morning when friends called and said they planned to drop by in the afternoon. It makes a lot, and I was able to serve our friends and the neighbors a casual supper. The seasonings and green chilies give the meat a spicy kick and taste fantastic with cool sour cream and fresh salsa. —Deb LeBlanc, Phillipsburg, Kansas

Quick and easy, think I'll add a little more 'heat' next time. Was moist and very tender. I'll keep this recipe - Thanks!!

Very easy and quick to put together. My 4 and 2 year old actually ate up their portion and asked for more!

This was wonderful. I've tried other variations on this theme and this was by far the best. It made good sandwiches and tacos, and would be good as a topping for baked potatoes as well.
