“This recipe is a household favorite. It will be underwhelming if you use bland ingredients. Everything needs to be fresh! Don’t use cheap seasoning – grind them up and double them!!! I use a lot more cumin, chili powder and cilantro. Fresh lime juice – double ” — a cook, 5.0★
“I love this! I had to tweek it to what I had. I tripled the amount cause I had a lot of chicken. I used wild rice instead of brown and added one jar of jalapeño cilantro salsa instead of cilantro and lime juice. Plus 1 can tomatoes as it called for. With sou” — a cook, 5.0★
