Tips

  • The easiest way to shred chicken is with a hand mixer or in a KitchenAid, or using two forks.
  • Adjust the amount of jalape Penos and juice to your spice preference.
  • Taste before adding more salt, as pickled items are already salty.
  • If you prefer the taste of mayo, add a tablespoon and remove a tablespoon of cottage cheese; it will still be lower fat and higher protein.
