Was excellent!! Wasn't sure about the sour cream part, but was very happily surprised on how well it tasted. I used a costco rotisserrie chicken and I would suggest doubling the salsa. I also broiled it for a few min. at the end to brown it. My honey gives it a 10 and I will agree with that. It was great and it will become a family favorite.
