Shred and Freeze CheeseIt’s usually cheaper to buy cheese in blocks than in shredded form. So I purchase large quantities of cheddar, Monterey Jack and mozzarella, then shred them myself in my food processor. I store the shredded cheese in the freezer in heavy-duty resealable plastic bags, so I have it at my fingertips whenever it’s needed. —Evelyn O., Parma, Ohio

It was spicy and had a lot of flavor. I didn't use the chips and I used two cans of Rotel for tomatoes. I will be making this one again.

The chicken was tender & juicy and the dish was spicy and flavorful. I actually cooked canned pinto and kidney beans with the chicken and it turned out wonderful.

This was so good to come home to after a long day of work and running the kids around, needless to say it was all gone no leftovers.

This was wonderful. I didn't even use the sour cream or cilantro and my sweetie said it was awsome!

I could not find "Mexican diced tomatoes" so I used Red Gold diced tomatoes with chipotle peppers. I used skinless, boneless chicken breasts instead of the leg quarters and added the minced fresh cilantro and juice from 1/2 fresh lime to the rice. It was spicy but both my hysband and I liked it.
