Recipe Background
Thanks to Saree P. for submitting this recipe. This is a great recipe to use up left over BBQ chicken. You can also use left over or rotisserie chicken warmed in a pan with 2-3 Tablespoons of BBQ sauce. Instead of crushed lime tortilla chips, Saree recommends Fresh Gourmet tortilla strips which can often be found hanging on clips above the lettuce in the produce section of the grocery store.
