As a working Mom with two kids, I have little time to prepare something hearty during the week. This recipe is easily tossed together in the morning and fabulous to come home to at night. Both my picky eaters love it! —Jessica Costello, Westminster, Massachusetts

I love this recipe - my son and husband love it! I didnt do the rice and doubles the black beans. I dont do anything with the cheese or sour cream and serve it with tortilla chips or hard taco shells. I tried to do 1.5 times the recipe and the chicken was not as flavorful. I also added a little more water. LUV LUV LUV this recipe. Quick to prepare, healthy and yummy!

I did not use the brown rice or black beans and this made a good soft taco filling.

Even though it doesn't state Gluten Free, this is a wonderful recipe for Gluten Intolerant individuals that like a little spice to their life. My husband loved it! Easy to make.

Quick and easy! I adjusted the spices so that my daughter could eat it (used 1 tsp reg. chili powder in place of the chipotle, and used reg. paprika in place of the Hungarian).

Fantastic and so easy to make. The kids ate it in soft taco shells and loved it. They like spicy foods so it didnt' bother them.

Great recipe! Served it on top of tostado shells with a salad. I didn't use the chipotle pepper... subsituted with a sprinkle of cayenne and it wasn't too spicy for our kids.

Was so easy! Next time would use less liquid and less rice, maybe a little more chicken. We put it in soft taco shells! Made a lot!
