From Frozen: Bake, uncovered, in preheated 350 degree oven for 30-40 minutes or until warmed through.

Cilantro Lime Chicken by Jackie (Rerun)

I love the versatility of this meal!  You can eat this on rice, in regular taco shells or on tortilla chips. This time, I've included tortillas for you.  Just shred the meat at the end of the cooking time and serve on the tortillas. Enjoy!
