Hearty, delicious and very satisfying.

 "I used Campbell's condensed chicken soup and didn't add any water . I also added some courgettes as we were short on chicken. The result was quite firm. Served it with salad for a good balance!" - amywilliams1

    This was ok but bad for left overs. Getting dry powdered milk was a pain, 5 different stores. It was really wet with soggy tortillas but tasted ok. I'm pregnant and work full-time with 2 kids, we like to eat it the next day for lunch... Bad idea! It was super soggy with the tortillas disinergrating to mush and I couldn't send them to school with something that there's no way I would ever eat. Ok the first meal but this is a no leftover kinda meal

    Using rotisserie chicken adds great flavor. Sauté onions and peppers with a little butter also. For a kick add a dash of cayenne pepper.
