What I like about this recipe is that we used some leftover rooster from earlier within the week to make our taquito base. I like taking leftovers and turning them into new dishes so after we determined to have some buddies over to have fun Cinco de Mayo, I knew I needed to take this rooster and salsa it for the event.
However as an alternative of salsa, we let tequila take the stage as one of many fundamental flavors in our taquitos. We frosted the chili with a scrumptious avocado cream after which wrapped it up superbly in a sit almond flour tortilla.
If you happen to learn this publish, you realize that I’m at present obsessive about lime flavored Siete chips. I would be mendacity if I stated I did not polish off the remainder of the bag for breakfast.
