I made this last night and it was so good! I made my own enchilada sauce, Cookie + Katie has a great one that’s super easy. I made my own taco seasoning like suggested, used rotisserie chicken and added black beans and black olives. Next time I’ll add fire roasted corn. You know it’s good when your partner takes a first bite and all you hear is him moaning, “that’s good”.

WOW! This is so delicious and so so easy to make. I didn’t have a rotisserie chicken, so I just boiled 3 breasts and shredded them instead. This will for sure be in our weekly rotation of meals!

I love this recipe so much. I make this meal probably every 2 weeks from memory. It’s easy and fast and so comforting. Yummy! I use poached chicken or rotisserie depending on what I have. So good!

This was great! We added frozen corn when cooking the veggies and everyone was happy with leftovers

This was absolutely delicious. I paired it with a guacamole salad from Ina Garten (Barefoot Contessa) and it was a perfect dinner.

So delicious and way easier than a pan of enchiladas!

My husband and I made this for dinner and it was delicious, we’ll definitely be making it again. I was worried it would be a little heavy but that wasn’t the case. We served it with sour cream, guacamole and chips and it was delicious.
