I added some fajita seasoning to the chicken before mixing everything because I was worried it may be bland without. It was delicious!

I put taco seasoning on my chicken. I had diced tomatoes, avocado, sour cream, and salsas to put on top of meal after it was baked.

It is good. But even with adding onion and making the chicken with taco seasoning it is a bit on the bland side

Wouldn't make again, but it wasn't disgusting. Just not great. And a lot of work for not-so-great.

While this probably won’t be a favorite, it was tasty enough and a meal my whole family was able to eat … no one had any complaints except the young daughter who thought it was too spicy. I used medium spicy enchilada sauce.

Used white rice for a faster rice cook and added a bell pepper and frozen corn.

Jacquelyn Curtis· 2 years ago

It was much better than I thought it would be. It was very easy too which I appreciate. I added some extra seasonings for more flavor.

Good recipe! I used seitan chickn to make it vegetarian. Didn't want to make refried beans so used a can of black beans and added a bag of frozen corn. For makeshift Enchilada sauce I used 2/3 cup vegan bolognese sauce and added a packet of taco seasoning. Overall really good I'll make it again!
