This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I made it with some leftover rotisserie chicken and it was delicious. The salsa is also a great way to use up leftover fruit.

This recipe was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar in the salsa next time.
