If you are like me, you are always looking for a reason to break out the chips and the dip. In honor of Cinco de Mayo we should all try this tasty looking recipe from the Taste of Home Magazine. I’m not a lover of Green peppers, but many of you probably are. I will probably just leave those out. The chicken sounds delicious, and if I add lettuce, cheese, tomato’s, olives and maybe some ranch dressing…..I think it would rock! Be careful with the chipotle peppers as they can be very hot. You may want to adjust the amount to your preference.
