We really thought this was good. I cut it down to serve six and put only one cup of the sour cream.I will be making this again, however; I think the next time i make this i will use leftover chicken that is already seasoned, the boiled chicken made the dish just a tad bland even with all the spices(it wasnt bad, just missing something for me). thank you for sharing a yummy recipe.Reply

I halved this and got 6 big servings. Need to write some notes here. Used 5% creme fraiche, made and used refried beans, only piut a bit of cheese on top, used all the salsa. Really spicy but great, will certainly make again. Might cut or shred the chicken more finely next time and I used dark turkey as it was what I had.Reply
