This recipe is a little spicy for my taste, but I was able to tone it down by reducing the amount of chili powder.

I'm not a big fan of cilantro, but I didn't find it to be overpowering in this dish. The other flavors in the recipe really balanced it out.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover chicken. It's also a great meal to prepare ahead of time and reheat later.
