For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a dash of smoked paprika or a squeeze of lime juice to the chicken mixture. To prevent the tortillas from cracking, warm them slightly before filling and rolling. Serve with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, guacamole, salsa, or a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.
