  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • 3/4 cup barbecue sauce
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 2 cups shredded lettuce
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes

Notes

  • Rotisserie chicken works great for a quick shortcut.
  • Add jalapenos or hot sauce for extra spice.
  • Replace lettuce with coleslaw for added crunch.
  • Store chicken separately from shells and toppings to prevent sogginess.
  • The BBQ chicken mixture can be refrigerated for up to 4 days.
  • Freeze the chicken mixture for up to 3 months and thaw before reheating.
