This recipe is a quick to prepare recipe that is a great weeknight meal. Have leftover chicken in your refrigerator? If so, this recipe is perfect or use a grocery store rotisserie cooked chicken. I prefer using corn tortillas, however, if you prefer flour tortillas they would be equally delicious. This is a recipe that takes under 30 minutes and will become a family favorite!
