Notes

Ingredient Substitutions: You can use corn tortillas instead of flour for a gluten-free option. If you don’t have chicken, ground beef, turkey, or even black beans work well too. Optional Variations: Add black olives, diced bell peppers, or jalapeños to the chicken mixture for an extra kick. Top with fresh cilantro or avocado slices for added flavor. Storage or Reheating Tips: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, gently warm in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until heated through, or microwave in short intervals until hot.
