This was very easy to make and tasted delicious. The fresh cilantro, avocado and jack cheese really made it flavorful. I also added a tsp of cumin. Will definitely make this again. Thanks, Tonkcats

I had so much fun makeing this! I did make a few changes though. I chopped bell pepper and sauted that with my onion and chillies, plus a chicken bullion cube and fresh garlic. Then I poured in 2 1/2 cup chicken broth 1/2 cup of water, the chicken, beans, hominy, diced tomatoes, mexicorn,extra garlic powder, oregano, salt, pepper, and chili powder, and I just let it simmer for the afternoon, what a great smell!! I cut up corn tortillias and fried them, then served them with the remaining garneshes, yummy! We have a keeper!
