I made this, but I made some changes and errors that damaged the end results. Feeling very stupid. I had to use salsa instead of picante sauce because the latter was too high in sodium; I also had to use lowfat versions of the dairy products. I think this would have been much better if I hadn't done any of those things. I added some chipotle and ancho pepper powders, along with cayenne pepper, for some more heat. That change actually was good. Thanks for a quick, easy meal!

A delicious weeknight meal that can be quickly made using a rotisserie chicken from the supermarket deli, my family really enjoyed this keeper recipe. I'm giving five stars because it tastes great and is so very easy-to-make!

DH and I really enjoyed this dish. I made half a recipe and got 3 nice servings. Corn tortillas where used in order to make the dish a little healthier. Extra grated cheese was sprinkled over the top. This makes a very attractive meal.
