    Step 3

    Add cilantro to chicken mixture. Cover and refrigerate until well chilled, turning chicken occasionally, about 4 hours.(Can be prepared 1 day ahead.)

    Step 4

    Slice chicken and transfer to plates. Top with marinated vegetables and some of the juices. Pass tortilla chips to use as 'pushers'.
