I made these using the leftover marinated chicken as suggested and they were very tasty. I did not get a chance to make the guacamole though as my avocados went south before I could make the recipe and I didn't have time to run out and get more. I served with sour cream and salsa and with spinach tortillas. These were even better the next day. Thanks for sharing a quick and easy meal!
