    • As far as the sodium is concerned, it is very minimal. There is no added salt to the recipe so the only sodium is in the chicken itself and the sodium that is naturally in the vegetables. If you add the cheese and tortilla chips, that obviously ups the count, but it is still fairly insignificant.

  2. Are the cans of vegetables supposed to be drained? Also I cannot find Mrs. Dash Taco Seasoning Mix, what can I use in it's place?

    • Hi Nancy! As per the instructions, only the corn is to be drained; you'll use the juices from the beans, tomatoes, and chilis. As for the Mrs. Dash Taco Seasoning...you have some options. You can order online (https://www.amazon.com/Mrs-Dash-Seasoning-Mix-Salt-Free/dp/B00H6XRY76/ref=sr_1_2_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1492101953&sr=8-2&keywords=mrs+dash+taco+seasoning), ask your local grocer to start stocking it (like I did), or if that's too much trouble, you can use 2 tablespoons of cumin powder and 1 tablespoon of chili powder instead. Hope that helps. Enjoy!
