    Ingredients

    • 4 (6-inch) flour tortillas
    • 3 ounces shredded (3/4 cup) pepper Jack cheese
    • 2 1/2 cups (10 ounces) shredded chicken breasts, from Poached Chicken Breasts and Chicken Broth
    • 1 cup jarred green salsa, plus more for serving (optional)

      This was awesome! I used chedder instead of pepper jack and red salsa (just because that's all I had on hand). Then added a little avacado on top.

      Super fast and easy! Used rotisserie chicken instead of poached. Kids loved it. I would like the tortillas to be crispier next time, so I will experiement.

      This has been a family favorite for a while! It's a great way to use up leftover roast chicken if you don't have poached chicken. Also we have tried it with fresh salsa verde in addition to jarred. Recipe is terrific as is though!

      My family loves this recipe! We used authentic Mexican Chihuahua cheese instead of the pepper jack. Yummy! The recipe was easy, fast, fun, and a kid pleaser!
