I’ve been concentrating on desserts and appetizers but this is one entree that I couldn’t pass up sharing with. Super easy to make and super delicious – its a great recipe to have in your repertoire. This recipe is thanks to Traca at Eat.At.
There is so much to love about this chicken taco recipe. First – it’s a snap to make using a rotisserie chicken. Second, thanks to the coconut, lime, cumin and cilantro it bursts with flavor (the coconut milk thickens as it heats). Third, they are delicious as leftovers if you are lucky enough to have any.
