October Recipe: Soylicious® Mexican Chicken
Fall is here!
Harvest is always the transition between summer and holidays!
During this time of year, we want meals that are hearty, healthy, and easy.
This recipe was picked by my husband Danny. There are a lot of Mexican Chicken recipes whirling around the internet right now.
This is our version. It is a great homemade meal hack that uses rotisserie chicken and black soybeans. It is delicious!
Black soybeans are always an excellent choice.
Each serving of our Soylicious® Easy Mexican Chicken has 21% fewer calories (by using black soybeans rather than plain black beans) and 51.3 grams of protein.
Cook the black soybeans ahead of time to fast-forward the meal prep process.
You can freeze the leftovers for a microwavable, homemade meal in a snap!
Use Mexican Chicken to make:
Tacos
Enchiladas
Quesadillas
Burrito bowls
Fajitas
Mexican Fajita Soup
Your life may never be the same!
Enjoy.

NOTE: You might want to make a larger batch next time. Frozen Soylicious® Mexican Chicken means you are one step away from easy meal prep during the cold winter months.
Freeze in a zip lock bag and pull out at the end of a long day.
Think soup (just add chicken broth, some cut-up bell peppers, and strips of corn tortillas), enchiladas (just roll the Mexican Chicken in flour tortillas and cover with a can of enchilada sauce), fajitas, fajita salads, or burritos . . . lots of yummy options.
Make this your own with added toppings.
