If your like me, you’re too lazy busy to cook dinner half the time. Or it’s too hot. Or you’re too tired from working and running errands all day. That’s what I love about easy short-cut recipes. You only need 5 ingredients for these chicken chilaquiles, and rotisserie chicken is one of them. How easy is that? The first time I made these, my 14-year-old son couldn’t get enough and said I needed to make them once a week. The kid knows good when he tastes it.

The Chicken Chilaquiles are made with corn tortilla chips, salsa verde, tons of glorious cheese and topped with the most amazing Mexican crema {a type of sour cream}. It’s no wonder my son can’t get enough of them! And, yes, they go perfectly with margaritas.

I recently received a copy of the cookbook 100 Creative Ways to Use Rotisserie Chicken in Everyday Meals by fellow blogger Trish of Mom on Timeout. It’s filled with fabulous recipes {like the chicken chilaquiles I’m sharing with you today} that all begin with rotisserie chicken. Trish has included sections on casseroles & bakes, 5 ingredients or less, 20-minute dinners, slow cooker creations, comfort foods, and several others. Each recipe has detailed step-by-step directions and the book is loaded with tons of gorgeous photos.

Other amazing recipes you’ll love from this book are Trish’s Spicy Mango Chicken…
