Notes & Wine Advice

Notes

This recipe is highly adaptable depending on your preferences. You can substitute the shredded chicken with pulled pork for a richer flavor or use a blend of cheeses such as cheddar and mozzarella for extra depth. For added texture, consider topping with thinly sliced red onion or fresh cilantro after baking.

Wine Advice

A slightly fruity red wine like Zinfandel pairs beautifully with the smoky barbecue flavors and melted cheese. If you prefer white wine, a chilled Chardonnay works well to balance the richness and cleanse the palate between bites.
