We did not care for this at all. The combinations of flavors seemed strange.

I really don't understand the negative reviews on this dish. I cook a lot and we LOVE good food. This one was very good. I did add some cut up chicken as my husband is a meat eater. We ate it for two meals and loved it!!

This recipe and ingredients were possibly the worst combination and taste I have ever experienced in a recipe. The odor and consistency with curdled sour cream were the worst. What was I thinking to make this disaster? Please just take this recipe off your usually wonderful list.

Nobody in my family cared for this recipe. I followed it to the letter, but it just wasn't good. It was mushy and lacking flavor despite some promising ingredients. Perhaps it could be good if you added some more flavor, but mostly I couldn't get past the odd combo of pasta and southwestern ingredients.

Tasted wonderful but my sour cream curdled as well. I'm going to try again and make it into a sauce, then add it. I loved the flavor.
