Kevin,
This sounds like a wonderful recipe. I am intending on using boneless chicken tenders / chicken breasts for this recipe. How much of those (weight) should I be using?
Vasu: One to two pounds of chicken tenders/breast.
Hi Kevin,
What do you mean by 'tomato sauce'?
Is this pureed tomatoes, tomato paste, or ketchup?
(Sorry for the confusion, I'm from Australia and just want to clarfiy!)
Thanks in advance :)

Lisa: I mean a tomato puree or crushed tomatoes here. Sorry for the confusion.
Ah.....Yummy. I had chicken thighs steamed already so I used those. This is an awesome recipe. Burritos came out delicious. Thanks for sharing your culinary brilliance. :)
Oh and I used tomato paste cause that is what I had and it's so inexpensive. I had used the first part of the can for Mexican Rice.
