Notes

What to do with leftover chicken?

Wrap them in tortillas! Make some chicken fajitas (VIDEO), quesadillas, or even enchiladas! You can even make a spicy appetizer like our chicken mushroom phyllo cups (VIDEO).
Serve it with other sides and sauces. We love to serve anything spicy with our easy authentic guacamole and fresh pico de gallo.
