My family and I realy enjoyed this dish. I was unsure about it when preparing, but the taste is wonderful and Im really glad I made it. The only changes that I made was putting the onions in at the same time as the speghetti and adding some hot pepper sauce to taste for a little additional flavor. Thanks for a great recipe!

i added onion to the oil when browning the vermicelli like my mom does. i also used chix broth instead of water. this was very good. i dont think the chili powder was overpowering at all, especially if you put in the cumin. i think the spices balance each other nicely as written. i served this w/ delicious tongue tacos from this site. i would probably use crushed toms next time instead of the sauce, though.

Made this last night for dinner and it was wonderful. I subbed fresh from the garden tomatoes for the roma, and canned chicken broth for the water. Like some before me, I sauteed the chicken with a little taco seasoning before cubing up. I didn't think the noodles were going to cook correctly, but they were perfectly al dente in about 11 minutes. Garnished with shredded Colby/Jack and a dollop of sour cream, which made the sauce super creamy and delish. Thanks for sharing a quick, easy, tasty recipe!

Wow. I decided to make this as a surprise for my Fiance, since it was a dish that he grew up on. He smelled it when it was almost done cooking and came to investigate. He was so thrilled. I rarely am able to recreate dishes his mother made, but this one was almost perfect. Rather than fresh tomatoes, I used undrained rotel (since it was more similar to hers). I used the amount of spice the recipe called for, but it was too spicy. I will make it again and only use half, if that. He also said it needed more tomato flavor, and that his mom used tomato sauce. I will be adding more tomato sauce when I make this for dinner again tonight. Perfecto.

This was really good! I did modify it just a bit after reading the reviews...I decided not to add chicken to the pot, I grilled some chicken thighs/legs separately. I used olive oil, sauteed 1 onion, 1 garlic clove in the oil, added angel hair spaghetti, let it cook for about 4 min. Then I added 2 cans of regular stewed tomatoes, 1 (15oz) can of tomato sauce, 1 cup of water, 1/2T Cumin, 1T chili powder and 1/2 tsp. salt. I allowed this to simmer for about 20 min. I put shredded chedder, sour cream, olives and green onions in bowls on the table so everyone could garnish their bowls as they liked. Everyone really liked this, I was surprised, it was simple and really good!

I was incredibly disappointed in this recipe. a) it looked nothing like the picture. b) i covered it in cheese to mask the taste. c) it was really, really watery, but I couldn't drain off the water without losing some spice and flavoring. This is most definetely not a keeper.

Quite tasty! You could even do it without the chicken if you dont have any on hand. I used diced tomatoes instead of roma and it turned out great!

This was pretty good, had some issues, all of my own doing.I accidentally used more spaghetti than the recipe called for because I just used the whole box (so watch out for that). I think that was the reason it was a little dry. Other than that it was tasty.

I have to say after following some of the suggestions...WOW! I used a can of diced tomatoes with chiles and I used taco seasoning on the chicken and then in the end when I added chicken broth. It was delicious. It has just the right amount of kick. I recommend serving it with sour cream if you're like me and love it. Thanks!!!!!

I've made this with sausage once and pork loin and it's so delicious. It's funny just how different it tastes from regular Italian spaghetti. So good! And I love the texture of the pasta from cooking in the tomato mixture. Yum!

My son has been begging for fideo for a couple of weeks now, so we made this together. I used a box of fideo instead of spaghetti, ground chuck instead of chicken since I had it thawed and needed to use it up and used chicken broth instead of water as it is tradition. My husband and I didn't care much for this, but my son loved it. Regardless, between the 3 of us, there were no leftovers. I thought it needed more seasoning and more spice like chile pepper or something. I'll go back to my usual recipe, but we had fun making this together. Thanks, we had a nice hot meal.

This is a good recipe. After cooking the chicken, I wipped the pan with a paper towel to removed any stuck on pieces of chicken, so they wouldnt burn when i browned the pasta. I browned the pasta in butter intead of oil for the flavor. I did not have tomatoes on hand so I used two cans of rotel undrained. Other than that, I followed the recipe exactly. It was a little spicy. I will leave out the salt and pepper next time. Also, I used cheddar cheese on top, but mexican cheese would have been even better. Easy to make and liked by all.

Very tasty and flavourful, my partner is half Mexican and he quite enjoyed it. Use a large skillet because the pasta is a pain to mix in a small/medium one (even when halved).

My mom made this when we were growing up. I make them now. This is the what we call the "poor week" meal, but it is so good, sometimes I just crave it. I usually don't put meat, thus the "poor week" meal. I use fido pasta or just regular elbow macaroni and I use tomato sauce only. More tomato less water. I also add Velveta or American cheese to the pot so it melts together. I don't add chile powder or cumin, but I put garlic powder. This is a good side with pan fried potatoes or spam. Yum, with tortillas.
