Melanie’s Make-It-Easier Tip 💜
Use the tools that cut the annoying prep steps: a Garlic Press for the garlic, Salad Choppers to cut the cooked chicken right in the dish, and a Tortilla Warmer to get all the tortillas warm at once.
Frozen sliced peppers and onions can make this even faster when chopping is the step standing between you and dinner.
