OPTIONAL TOPPINGS

NOTES

Chicken: For convenience, use store-bought rotisserie chicken, or substitute any leftover roasted or grilled chicken.

Beans: We typically use field peas with snaps, but you can swap in crowder peas, black-eyed peas, pinto beans, black beans, or your favorite variety.

Veggies: Feel free to add any extra veggies you have. Zucchini, mushrooms, and peppers are great options.

Seasonings: Customize the flavor by adding chili powder, cumin, and paprika. A drizzle of hot sauce is also a delicious addition.

Leftovers: Store leftovers in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days.

Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop over medium-low heat.
