- Instead of cream cheese, use plain Greek yogurt. Your filling will be more runny, so you can add more chicken. Other alternatives to cream cheese, include low-fat cream cheese, or using half cream cheese and half plain Greek ygourt.
- Add more vegetables – celery, small carrot shreds, zucchinis, red peppers, spinach, or arugula.
A lot of Mexican dishes use taco seasoning. I go through a lot of the little taco packets you get from the grocery store. So, I decided making some taco seasoning in bulk was a great idea! Check out Gimme Some Oven’s Homemade Taco Seasoning recipe to make your own taco seasoning!
