"NEXTOVER" CHICKEN TACOS WITH QUICK REFRIED BEANS
If you're following the #cook90 initiative and made Crispy Chicken and Potatoes With Cabbage Slaw, these tacos are a delicious and clever use of "nextovers" (what we call leftovers transformed into a new dish the next day). Warming the chicken in tangy tomatillo salsa and topping it with bright cabbage slaw brings it back to life, and the super-fast, garlicky beans round out the meal.

Steps:
- Pull meat from chicken; discard skin. Warm chicken and salsa in a large skillet over medium-low heat until heated through.
- Meanwhile, heat oil in a medium skillet over medium. Cook garlic, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 1 minute. Add beans, salt, and 1/2 cup water and cook, stirring and crushing beans with the back of a large spoon, until warmed through and creamy, about 3 minutes. Let sit until ready to use.
- Working one at a time, warm tortillas with tongs directly over a gas burner, turning often, until lightly charred and puffed in spots, about 1 minute per side. (Alternatively, wrap tortillas in foil and heat in a 350°F oven until warmed through, or wrap in damp paper towels and microwave in 20-second bursts until warm.) Transfer to a plate and cover with a kitchen towel to keep warm.
- Fill tortillas with chicken and top with avocado, slaw, and cilantro. Serve with lime wedges, hot sauce, and refried beans alongside.

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients always taste better and provide more nutrients than processed ones. Whenever possible, use fresh chicken, vegetables, and herbs in your tacos.
- Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken in a flavorful mixture of spices and herbs helps to tenderize and flavor it. You can use a variety of marinades, such as a simple mixture of olive oil, garlic, and herbs, or a more complex one with ingredients like yogurt, cumin, and chili powder.
- Cook the chicken properly: Overcooked chicken is tough and dry, so be careful not to overcook it. Cook the chicken until it is cooked through but still juicy, about 8-10 minutes per side.
- Use high-quality tortillas: Corn tortillas are the traditional choice for chicken tacos, but you can also use flour tortillas if you prefer. Look for high-quality tortillas that are fresh and pliable.
- Warm the tortillas before serving: Warming the tortillas before serving makes them more pliable and easier to fold. You can warm them in a skillet over medium heat, or wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave them for a few seconds.
- Load up on toppings: The best tacos are loaded with toppings. Some popular toppings include shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, guacamole, sour cream, and salsa. You can also get creative with your toppings and use things like roasted corn, black beans, or pickled onions.
Conclusion:
Chicken tacos are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a little planning and preparation, you can easily make chicken tacos at home that are just as good as, if not better than, the ones you get from a restaurant. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give chicken tacos a try. You won't be disappointed!
