Costa Vida Chicken
I love Mexican food and I especially love Fresh Mex. There are a lot of places around here that serve just that and Costa Vida is one of them. I have eaten food there but always get the pork. Never had the Costa Vida chicken. I found this recipe over at Your Home Based Mom and had to try it. It was too easy not to.
Not sure how it compares to Costa Vida Chicken but I loved it. It makes a lot too. I was able to get just over 2 meals with this recipe. We did tacos one time. Then I put the rest in the freezer for another night. With the leftovers, I made quesadillas one night for dinner (the chicken, fresh cilantro and cheese). Then I still have enough to make taco salads for a few times for my lunch. Love it. So easy and delicious. I also served the tacos and quesadillas with the Santa Barbara brand mango salsa from Costco. It goes really well with this chicken.
