Mexican Night

I am always looking for new ways to use leftover cooked chicken, so tonight wasn’t any different. Let’s make it Mexican night! I don’t remember where I picked up this recipe, but recently I found it scribbled on the back page of one of my cookbooks. It’s simple, nutritious and even better, my children love it. No leftover chicken? This also makes an excellent vegetarian entrée without it.
