Last week I shared my discovery of the best chicken tacos in the world. Today I want to show you what I did with the leftovers! This recipe was originally created by Joyful Momma’s Kitchen. The only modification I made was to use my favorite crockpot chicken recipe. If you have shredded chicken on hand in your freezer like I do, this will come together in a hurry.
