Expert Tips

Make a quick chicken tortilla sandwich by cooking just the chicken breasts as directed. Spread 4 tortillas each with 2 tablespoons salsa and sprinkle with 1/4 cup shredded Cheddar cheese to within 1 inch of edge. Place chicken breast in center, and fold sides of tortilla over chicken. Microwave briefly to melt cheese.

i would have to say this is bland. i even put 1 1/2 cups of salsa 1 1/2 teas.of chili powder and 1/2 a teaspoon cheyenne pepper. after cooking the everything i did try it noticed it was missing something so we put in bobs country seasoning salt to taste. that helped a liitlle bit. and also i used seasoned black beans. i would say this is not the best recipe but not the worst. everyone ate it all. if i make it again will have to tryand figure out the missing ingredient.will have to say it was very easy to make.

I tried this with some changes. I rubbed chili, cayenne, adobo, tumeric, and salt into the chicken(which I cubed). I then cooked it in oil with garlic and onions. I didn't have mexicorn so I used diced tomatoes with chilis. I used canned corn, black beans and threw in some vegetarian beans. I did add the salsa and let it simmer. I thought it was pretty good. Not bland with all the flavoring I put it.
