BBQ chicken tacos with superfood slaw are a great way to utilize leftovers you have in the fridge. This past Sunday night, I made crock pot BBQ chicken with macaroni and cheese and a side superfood salad with poppyseed dressing. We did not eat all of the BBQ chicken nor the salad (macaroni and cheese was gone though), so I thought what can I do with the leftovers?
Tacos! DUH! I always keep tortillas in my pantry for these occasions. Any protein leftover can pretty much be utilized to create a delicious taco. Now what to do for toppings?
The superfood salad mix was a great base to add a simple rice wine vinaigrette to for an added crunch to the tacos. I used a kale, Brussels sprouts, cabbage blend that was from a bagged salad kit at the grocery store (sometimes we have to take a short cut).
In the end, we ended up with a delicious 10 minute meal from the leftovers we had in our fridge.
We could not help but pair the meal with a clean and crisp Topo Chico!
