I added jalepenos and a little of the chicken broth after I boiled the chicken breasts. We had to do a homemade salsa because my friend has diverticulitis and cannot have seeds.

LOVED this inexpensive, easy recipe. I used pinto beans (although I would probably use black beans next time), a Mexican shredded cheese blend, and medium salsa. It was delicious. It tasted great leftover too, although the bottom layer of tortillas got a bit soggy. I will definitely be making it again, at the request of my fiance! He even bragged about it to his mom... score!

BTW it also freezes very well. Just don't put the cheese on the top layer until you are ready to bake it...

This recipe was excellent. My whole family raved about it, so its definitely a keeper. I did vary it a little. I used 1 quart of salsa mixed with the sour cream, I also left out the green peppers since we didn't have any. I used just one can of chopped olives and more cheese. I do think that it could use a little bit more seasoning. So next time I will probably add some taco seasoning to the chicken and maybe throw in some chopped jalapenos!

This is wonderful and easily halved if you don't want two casseroles.

I cut this recipe in half...and used red bell peppers instead of green like many of you did. We liked it...didn't LOVE it...this dish tasted better as a left over for some reason. I will make it again....but not often, I think it will make for a great pot luck dish!

Our family loves this casserole, and I make it a couple times a year. It has a wonderful Mexican flavor, but if you use mild salsa, it's not too spicy. We omit the green peppers and olives as our family doesn't care for them, and we also use light sour cream to cut the calories and fat.
