This recipe is perfect; don't change a thing. Hubby loved it, took left overs in to the office the next day and ended up sharing with three other co-workers. One loved it so much she made them for dinner the next night and her family loved it also. Great recipe!

I made this one night and i actually just got the Tyson chicken in the can and shredded it I was nervous I'm very picky and not much into trying new foods I use my boyfriend as my test dummy as bad as that sounds but they were actually really really good they were a bit spicy I tried to pick out the seeds in the Jalapenos but i guess I missed a couple. I have a five year old that liked them to there great for everyone if you can handle a little spice! and extremely quick and easy to make which is definitely the best part for me!!!!! :)
