For an authentic touch, use fresh Mexican cheese (queso fresco) or aged (queso anejo) in place of feta.

    One more thing about the chipotle chilies in adobo sauce. You will use only one or two of the chilies, so the remaining can be placed in a freezer bag and frozen.

    Such an easy recipe, and so tasty. My husband couldn't stop raving about it. The next day he said "How do you say the name of the dish you made last night?" and after I told him he said, "Yeah, that. That was SO good." I plan on repurposing our leftovers into enchiladas later in the week. Yum!

    This has become one of my go-to dishes for an easy weeknight dinner. The cilantro gives it a bright, fresh flavor. I use the queso fresco (usually La Vaquita brand) recommended in the opening notes of the recipe instead of feta for a more authentic Mexican taste. I love this dish!

    I'm sometimes skeptical of any dish bathed in tomatoes and garlic... but the chiles in adobo really made this dish! It's so good! Use a rotisserie chicken and it's no work at all. My husband loved it, I think he had seconds and thirds. Cheap and quick... winner winner chicken dinner.

    Made this tonight...so simple and delicious!! I used crushed tomatoes and added a can of black beans. I also seeded the chipotles so the heat would be reduced, but the great smoky flavor was still there. Will be making this again!!

    My mexican friend taught me how to make this. It is our day-after-Thanksgiving tradition, since it works with turkey too! We eat it on tostada shells with avocado, shredded lettuce and sour cream. We couldn't find the "queso blanco" that she wanted, but we settled on monterey jack.

    whoa! this was really good and really quick. i am going to add zucchini and black beans next time to increase the nutrition. but stellar as is. except the feta is completely unnecessary.
