Cooking Instructions
Remove meat from the chicken and shread. I also discard chicken skin. Heat 2c. salsa in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and heat till warmed through. Fill the taco shells (cooked according to package instructions) with the chicken mixture and top with cheese and cilantro. Serve with extra salsa, sour cream, avocado, and lime wedges on the side.

Notes
The lime is the key... don't omit the lime!! You can use soft corn tortillas instead of crisp taco shells, or leftover roast beef or pork in place of chicken. I'm thinking it would be great for leftover holiday turkey too. I ran out of taco shells and used the leftover chicken mixture on tortilla chips for chicken nachos the next day.
