- Microwave Soft Tortilla shells 1 min

Serve with Rice Pilaf Yield 16 servings
Variations:
Frozen Chicken strips can be substituted if this is the case then add the chicken to the mixture last.
If you have “fussy” eaters the veg and meat can be kept apart, prepare a small 3rd frypan and add enough meat and veggies to the pan to satisfy the non-fussy eaters and cook as above, simply skip the salsa & cheese steps and let the “fussy” eaters add their own cold to the mix
If you live anywhere near the Border Grille & Bar, or the Southside Grille & Margareta factory — Border specialty sauce may be substituted for Salsa if you like it hot.
I’ve never cared for Spanish Rice but if you prefer it you can use it instead of the Pilaf.
If you perfer a single meat then remove any of the meat(s) listed and adjust cooking times accordingly.
