Tried this tonight…threw the chicken, sauce, beans and chilis back into a frying pan (where I had poached the chicken to get the shredded) topped with the cheese to warm it all (it is January after all!) and then served on fresh romaine lettuce. Yum. DH and DS both liked it too.

Made this tonight. Was looking for something different, for fun. This was fun, and easy to throw together (always a plus in my book). Thought I had a can of beans but I didn’t, so I used corn instead. I also left out the chiles since 3 of us don’t like them. I really understand how leaving them out changed the recipe, so it’s not a “full” review here. This was good. Thanks.

Yum-o! I doubled the recipe and took it to the lake over the weekend – huge hit! I made it just as listed and ate with chips and/or in a fajita size tortilla. I plan on making it for tailgating, too!

Not bad but not as spectacular as I thought given the other reviews. I think maybe I would cut back on the amount of taco seasoning….

Yum! Made it exactly according to instructions, ate by the pool with tortilla chips… perfect summer meal! I love that it is chicken salad but it wasn’t TOO mayo-y.

I’m not sure what is missing here for me. It seemed all I could taste was taco seasoning & the black bean, cheese & chicken flavors got a little lost in that. Nice idea though!

Ok – WOW. I had leftover chicken and most of the needed ingredients, so I threw this together. Didn’t have black beans, but I had a can of black eyed peas. This was absolutely amazing – I ended up eating it for dinner. Thank you for posting this! I have a feeling it will become a regular at this falls sunday football parties!

Yum! You have fulfilled one of my many pregnancy cravings. I can’t get enough Mexican/TexMex food! I’ve made 3 batches of salsa and 2 black bean dips in 1 week! LOL!! This is next on my list of dips =)

I was looking for something different to make than my usual cranberry-pecan chicken salad and stumbled across this recipe. Wow was it good! I used the juice and the zest of the lime and the only change I made was that I mixed the olives in throughout instead of just as a garnish. This recipe is definitely a keeper!
