  • 1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon Cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 1/2 cups Shredded Chicken leftover, or from a rotisserie!
  • a bunch of handfuls Tortilla Chips heartier, thicker chips work best here
  • Sliced Radish
  • Queso Fresco Cheese
  • Cilantro
  • Lime Wedges
  • Sour Cream or plain Greek yogurt

Equipment

  • Wooden Spoon
  • Blender
  • Cutting Board
  • Skillet
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Chef's Knife
  • Baking Sheet

Method
 

  1. Place the fire roasted diced tomatoes, green onions, garlic, smoked paprika, and cumin in a blender and puree until smooth.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add olive oil. Once hot, pour in the tomato mixture from the blender and stir. Cook, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon, until the sauce slightly thickens.
  3. Add in the shredded chicken and a few handfuls of tortilla chips. Toss to combine, covering everything with the sauce.
  4. Add in more tortilla chips and toss. Throw some toppings on: cilantro, queso fresco, sliced radish, and some sour cream or plain Greek yogurt. Spritz on some lime and devour!

Notes

  • Tip 1: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. The chips may lose some crunch, but the flavors will deepen.
  • Tip 2: You can freeze the sauce and chicken mixture separately from the chips for future meals.
  • Tip 3: Serve with a side of seasoned black beans for a complete meal.
  • Tip 4: Prepare the sauce a day ahead for even more flavor.
  • Tip 5: If you enjoy heat, add some diced jalapeƱos to the mix.
