My wife and I just made this recipe. IT IS AMAZING but to heighten it, we decided to put the meat back in the rice and ad chunky salsa (so that it wouldnt dry out)!!! OUTSTANDING... it made what was already delicious PERFECT. We ended having way more than we anticipated but we are OK with that. The rice did, however, take longer to get completely done! It's a must try... next time it'll be the party dip :)

i made it with frozen chicken strips and 1 pack of taco seasoning instead of cumin.I cook for 7 including 5 kids, they loved it even the picky 5 year old.A great twist the standard, and fast for a busy household. Thanks!!!!!!
