βNever thought to make these with beef. I'm pretty much chickened out - except for skin on, breaded and deep fried - true health food. lol Otherwise this is the recipe I already use. I brine, poach and shred my chicken so it stays juicier and soaks up thβ β a cook, 5.0β
βLoved this! I didn't find the seasoning too spicy at all, as some noted. Used thighs, as I always have them on hand, and they were moist and juicy. Used whole wheat tortillas and liked them with this. Will definitely make again.β β a cook, 5.0β
