Notes

For a spicy kick, add jalapeños or hot sauce to the chicken mixture. Ensure chicken is evenly cooked for better flavor and texture. To prevent tortillas from drying out, wrap them in a towel before serving. Store filling in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the fridge. Freeze components separately for up to 2 months.
