This was pretty good! I had some leftover homemade tortillas that I needed to use up, so decided to make this. I also used less salt--a little less than 1/2 tsp. I also only had jalapenos, so only put a couple tablespoons of those and subbed some Tyson frozen chicken breast strips instead of the rotisserie chicken. Had some great heat. Thanks for posting!!

I really liked this. I reduced the salt by half because I was unsure of the amount of salt in the canned items, and it was just right for me. This was very easy to make. The lime juice added a very nice flavour to the chicken.Thanks for the recipe.
