Notes about this recipe

    I came here for the idea of using 2 of my home-canned sauces as the main seasoning. The red sauce was a smooth (and hot!) "smoky roasted salsa" & for the green, my gold standard "tomatillo salsa verde". I used the stove top and after putting the aromatics (+ diced chiles from the garden) in the pan, I couldn't see not sauteeing them 1st. I cut back on the water (skipped the rice) and after shredding the meat, added black beans, corn & sliced pickled peppadews. Oh yes, I used an idea from another favourite & added diced corn tortillas as the thickener. I must say, we are pretty happy with the results.

    Okay not terrific. Tasted like enchilada sauce too much. Needed some additional Mexican spices maybe? It was too spicy even though we use mild enchilada sauce and medium salsa Verde. We are fans of medium hot foods, not sure how this got so spicy.

    My chicken was still pretty frozen, so I increased the cooking time to 20 minutes, but in hindsight, 18 min might have been enough. The soup took 35 min to come to pressure (colder ingredients apparently take longer). I didn't have red enchilada sauce, so I substituted half tomato puree, half chicken broth, with 1 tsp chili powder stirred in. I only had 2.5 cups green salsa, but it was enough. Our soup turned out fairly spicy since the salsa was spicy. I stirred in a cup of cooked pinto beans at the end. We quite liked it with the toppings (no mango).

    Add lime to taste instead of an entire lime. Also would be good with canned black beans :)
