Chicken Fajitas
This is a brilliant dish to place an order for.
Chicken Fajitas are made with only a few ingredients and are pretty quick to make. They are an absolute crowd favorite, especially when you lay out all the toppings, and everyone can customize their fajitas just as they want! This makes Chicken Fajitas the best choice for a mid-week meal.

This smoky Chipotle paste is a secret ingredient that adds Mexican spell to the chicken. Chipotle Paste is further mixed with freshly squeezed lime juice, dried oregano, olive oil, salt, pepper, and herbs.
Chicken Quesadilla
When you are looking for a flavorsome way to cheer up your day, you pick chicken quesadilla!
Well, we all do that.
Quesadillas are made with a tortilla loaded with cheese and roast chicken, which gets toasted in a sizzling pan until the cheese is gooey. Chicken quesadillas are excellent for a snack, lunch, light dinner, or even tidbits, and there is no fixed time to eat them.
What makes the best chicken quesadilla is a secret ingredient i.e., a dollop of smoky Chipotle Mayo onto the wrap, and it makes the quesadilla unbelievably yummy!
Chicken quesadillas are best served with a side of our fresh tomato salsa, which tastes incredible.
Chicken Burrito
Here is our take on what has become one of the most famous Mexican fast foods out there in recent times.
It is made with slow-cooked Mexican chicken until it is delicate enough to pull apart for a classic chicken burrito. This can be done either on a slow cooker or in an everyday casserole dish. The remaining broth is combined with the shredded meat for extra juicy beef.
Chicken burrito is served with a perfect homemade Guacamole, freshly made salsa, or steamed rice, all wrapped up together.
Chicken Nachos
When it comes to Nachos, it is always handy to have a cheesy plate for nachos with shredded chicken on the top.
It is perfect for two people but can easily be expanded depending on how many people eat together.
Chicken thighs are more delicious than chicken breast, which is why they are ideal for this recipe. The thighs are covered in a nice marinade made with Chipotle Paste, lemon juice, parsley, and olive oil.
Nachos are best served with freshly made tomato salsa, where instead of using fresh chilies, you add our pickled chilies.

Mexican Chicken and Rice
This is the best when made in a Dutch style oven or heavy-bottomed pan.
Marinated chicken is roasted with aromatic rice and vegetables and sauces then tossed all together. This is the same pot dish to get every ounce of flavor in the pot. You will also cook the rice in the pot which means you will have to evenly spread heat around the pot, to mix the marination with sauces and create a flavorful blend.
Mexican Chicken Casserole
Many Mexican or Tex-Mex meals are full of tomatoes, making them fresh and acidic. On the other hand, this dish is wildly creamy and aromatic with chicken taste.
You will use cream of chicken soup and an abundance of cheese to make this, along with tomatoes and beans. This is served best with sauteed veggies and dips.
