Ingredients
  

For the Chicken Base
  • 1 lb Boneless Chicken Breasts/Thighs Thighs offer richer flavor; breasts are a leaner option.

  • 4 oz Cream Cheese Vegan alternatives like Tofutti or Kite Hill can be used.
  • 1/3 cup Cotija Cheese Feta can be substituted if cotija is unavailable.
  • 1 lime Juice Freshly squeezed is preferred over bottled.
