Notes and tips

Use store-bought rotisserie chicken to save time.
Prep vegetables at the beginning of the week for several lunches.
Chips stay crispy in a separate airtight container.
Cheese sauce can be replaced with shredded cheese if desired.
Add an ice pack to keep the chicken and sauces cool.
For more variety, alternate between different salsa flavors.
