"Only 4 ingredients in this recipe and it is so tasty. I like to use thighs in stead of brests. Leave out the cheese if you want to cut back a bit on fat etc but this recipe is really quite weight friendly. This is mild spicy. I have enjoyed it with & without cheese.It is a Kraft recipe."

I was looking for a way to use up some leftover chicken, and remembered I had this recipe saved. And due to the lack of some of the ingredients substitutions were made. And they are as follows, the black beans were replaced with a can of Southwestern Style Pinto Beans which had diced chili peppers and other seasonings added. Instead of the low fat Tex-Mex cheese, a blend of Nacho/Taco Seasoned Cheese was used. I served this over Crispy Restaurant Style Tortillas. We both thought the flavors were really good. And I'm VERY please to be the first one to rate,review, and photograph this recipe. :)Thanks for posting and , " Keep Smiling :) "
