To store leftovers, let the chicken mixture cool completely. Place it in an airtight container and keep it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the mixture for up to 2 months. To serve, reheat it on the stovetop or in the microwave. For extra spice, add hot sauce to the mix. Use different types of ground meat, or make it vegetarian by swapping the chicken for a plant-based protein.
