This is a great recipe that I will be making again! The only thing I did different was I used pre cooked chicken and used a packet of taco seasoning (followed directions like I would with beef) so I left out the garlic. Thanks for posting.

This was really easy to make and I will make it again, but I think next time I'll add some additional spices to the chicken mixture as it was a little bland for my taste (cumin, chili powder, etc.). Followed Kater's recommendation and only used one can of soup (98% fat free), I think two cans would be way too soupy. Instead of tomatoes with green chilies, I used a medium sized can of tomatoes and a small can of chilies. To make it lighter, I used less cheese and subbed in reduced fat Mexican cheese blend. Thank you for the quick and tasty meal.
