    It seems that I just can’t get away from the shredded chicken recipes. If you haven’t heard yet, we just finished up a month of sharing shredded or rotisserie chicken recipes every day!

    Welp, we’re back with another one…this time using tomatillo salsa and other green tex-mex-y toppings, like cilantro and avocado. These are some spectacular burritos and need to be on your next taco or tex-mex night menu!
