I have another great Cinco de Mayo recipe for you guys today – Chilaquiles Verdes with Chicken!
If you love Mexican food, you will love this one. It’s full of bold flavors and the ultimate comfort food. It’s super easy to throw together and you can even cheat a bit and use a few pre-made substitutes if you need a meal in a pinch!
I used leftover grilled Fajita Chicken for my recipe. If you don’t have time to fry up the tortillas, you could substitute thick corn chips instead.
