I used leftover turkey/chicken and it was even faster!

This recipe looks incredibly good. The carbs aren't bad at all. And (1) you could use turkey; (2) you could leave the meat out and substitute beans and rice (the protein would not be as much, but if we use beans and rice, it's a complete protein along with a little corn. Can't wait to try this. Thanks!

Easy and fast--definitely! I added a can of refried beans to thicken it up a little. This is a great recipe for whipping up quickly to take to home-bound individuals, potlucks, etc. Everyone who tasted it loved it!
