Notes
- Storage: Place leftovers in a container and store them in the fridge for up to 5 days. Reheat in the microwave when ready to eat. You can freeze for up to 3 months.
- Serving size: 2 cups
- To save time, use a store-bought rotisserie chicken or leftover chicken that you have on hand.
- You can, of course, roast or pan-fry the chicken and shred that if you wish.
- You can sub chicken for ground turkey or ground beef.
- Olive or avocado oil is good.
- You can use any broth you have handy.
- If you are watching your salt intake, opt for low-sodium chicken broth and low-sodium canned beans.
- Skip the cheese and other dairy toppings for a lactose-free option
- For a vegan option, use vegetable broth and skip the chicken.
- If topping with shredded cheese, ideally shred your own. Pre-shredded cheese doesn't melt that well.
- Increase or decrease the chili flakes, depending on the spice level you'd like.
