Spicy Chicken Tacos

Spicy Chicken Tacos

 

Apart from being one of my favorite dishes…I like to opt for tacos because they are easy to prepare and are filling at the same time. You can surprise your guests within no time if you happen to have a can of baked beans.

Here I have taken chicken as a base but you can substitute it with a can of baked beans. You can use your own imagination and try with different stuffing like Paneer (cottage cheese) or any ideal leftovers. Even stuffing leftover cutlets with green chutney will give it an Indian effect.
