Prepare this easy wire recipe; it is very economical and yields a lot, as it is made with chicken breast, chorizo, bacon, and a combination of vegetables. Best of all, you can make it all in one skillet in just 3 steps. The original recipe calls for beef, bacon, onion, chili, and cheese. But as we can see, this popular dish from Mexican cuisine has many variations as you can substitute the type of meat and vegetables to your liking.

Originally, the wire was made like skewers, inserting the ingredients onto a wire rod; hence the origin of its name. You can enjoy this delicious chicken wire with cheese in tacos with your favorite salsa. You won’t regret it.
