    Comments about Mountain House Mexican-Style Chicken with Rice For Two:

    Almost too much "mexican flavoring powder" used in this meal. Even adding a little extra water could not powerdown the amount of spice and flavoring. The beans did not reconstitute well, even after 20 minutes.

      Comments about Mountain House Mexican-Style Chicken with Rice For Two:

      Took this backpacking and we loved it. It did take a few minutes longer to cook than stated on packaging in order for beans to become tender. Plenty for two female hikers (with a cup of soup appetizer). Pretty spicy though and I like a lot of spice. Would definitely have this two nights on our next trip.

      Comments about Mountain House Mexican-Style Chicken with Rice For Two:

      We tried a bunch of different freeze dried foods on our last canoe camping trip. This one was the best tasting by far, almost like momma makes it at home.

      The only negative was the package is bulky, but it collapses flat to pack out. Great to mix the food in, though.

        The food tasted great and it was easy to prepare. It was filling and a wonderful hot meal after a long day of hiking.

        Taco's in a bag! We always like chicken and rice combinations on the trail, and this one has some kick to it. The only complaint is the extra bulk in the packaging/lack of vacuum that takes up more space in the pack. Definately buying it again.
