I have made this many times. I even have guests request this dish when they are coming for dinner!

we all loved this. because my canned tomatoes and green chiles were very spicy, i didn't add the chile powder and cumin. it looks all mushy but tastes wonderful.

I made this last night and it turned out fabulous, I used boneless skinless chicken & sautéed it with the peppers and onions & simmered it will taco seasoning. I also added fiesta corn (with peppers) and black beans with the rest of the ingredients. I then layered it in a 13x9 and baked it. It was so easy and I topped off the plates with sour cream and fresh guacamole! Thank you for sharing.

Excellent recipe. I didn't have tomatoes so I substituted with salsa. This went over really well with my family. A new favorite. Thanks for a great and easy recipe. Mary L
