Addictive Mexican Stew

Reviews

• "Excellent! I just finished making this and it is addictive!! I made a couple of minor adjustments simply because you do what you have to do… I used Rotel instead of green chiles, I didn’t have those on hand. I used a whole 14.5 ounce can of chicken broth because I hate left over stock (I always forget I have it in the freezer and someone will throw it out). The had to cook up the chicken in the soup pot first with salt, pepper and other spices, then added the onions and garlic. Once that was fully cooked I added the rest. Very yummy and really easy to make!!! The Rotel adds a nice zing to it if you like that!! Thanks for sharing!!!"

• "This was a very tasty and hearty meal. My husband and I really enjoyed this recipe. To save time I used canned chicken and used the broth from the canned chicken. I added additional broth to the mixture due to personal preferences and since the soup was so hearty. We added cheese and sour cream to our individual bowls. Thank you for this recipe!"

• "Do NOT use left-over turkey! The turkey has too much poultry flavoring which muddles any 'Mexican' taste."

• "This was very tasty. We skipped the diced chiles, we're spice lightweights."

• "I LOVED this recipe. I made it exactly as is although I did add extra chicken broth to make it a little more soupy. This is a wonderful "base" for possible stews of all kinds. The variations are endless. It is more tomato-y than Mexican in my opinion but EASILY you can add spices of all kinds and it is delicious...which is what makes it so great. It's a basic soup to work from according to your preference...and it is delicious as is! Definitely try this if you love soups and stews as comfort foods. Cheap, economical, easy to make and takes less than 30 minutes."

• "We loved this! Great way to use leftover chicken and a fast, easy weeknight meal. You so gotta try this. I'll be making it again and again. Thanks!"

• "Awesome! The ONLY change I made was to double the chicken broth/cornstarch mixture since I wanted more of a soup-like consistency. Very much like a WW Tortilla Soup recipe I have posted but much, much faster. Easily ready in 20 minutes."

• "I loved this! Only had one can of tomatos, so used some salsa also. Great with corn muffins."

• "A keeper.I served it with corn bread, and a dish of sour cream on the side....my son ate his bowl with corn bread, the took another bowl with sour cream and ate it with tortilla chips...needless to say I'll be making this often. Thanks so much for sharing!"

• "I made this last night with some leftover Thanksgiving turkey and it was absolutely delicious! My husband loved it. I did have a little extra time so I let it simmer an extra 20 minutes or so. I also served it over rice, to stretch it a little further. For the reviewers who would like to cut down on the salt, McCormick's sells a reduced-sodium taco seasoning - I used one envelope of this and the salt was just right. Thanks for a great recipe!"

• "Easy Easy Easy and Fast to make. And healthy too. My husband who took this in his lunch swears that it tastes good cold too. If you buy the onions pre-chopped and the chicken is already cooked, there is less than five minutes prep time. It smells SO good while it is cooking. I like the fact that you can buy the ingredients in bulk and make it at any time. This will become our "comfort food" too."

• "Very easy and delicious...instead of a packet of taco seasoning, I just looked at the label of one that was lying around and made my own. Rotel is probably a good sub for separate cans of tomatoes/chiles."

• "Excellent recipe! Made it for 3rd time and added some sliced carrots (2) and (1 med.) zucchini, like I saw in some of the other pictures. I used black beans, and the whole can of chicken broth. Somewhat like my tortilla soup but heartier. Very fast to make, great for weeknight cooking. I used the "365" cornbread recipe made with a high quality stone ground white corn meal. Yum!"

• "I had to make a few minor changes to the recipe to avoid a trip to the store. I used leftover turkey. I also used a large can of crushed tomatoes and a can of Rotel instead of 2 cans of diced tomatoes and 4 ounce can of diced chilies. My can of corn was also larger than called for but I drained it and put the whole can in anyway. My stew was very thick (probably due to the crushed tomatoes) so I put in the whole can of chicken broth and left out the corn starch. It still turned out fantastic. I didn't have any because I don't eat turkey, but the rest of the family gave it 5 stars!"

• "Delicious! I cooked everything in the crockpot and it came out great. I cooked two large chicken breasts with some of the taco seasoning in the crockpot on low for 4 hours. After shredding the chicken, I added the rest of the ingredients and continued cooking on low for 3 more hours. The low-slow cooking really let flavor develop nicely. I will definitely be making this again!"

• "Love this recipe! So easy and so good! I cut the recipe in half and used my 3-qt. crockpot- just put everything in on high for 6 hours. I used home frozen corn (thawed, drained) and refried beans instead of black beans, which added great flavor and thickened the stew. So I omitted the cornstarch. The two of us ate all of it for dinner, with cornbread!"
