Note

For best results, ensure the skillet is hot before adding the chicken to achieve a good sear.

You can substitute chicken breasts with chicken thighs for a juicier result.

Serve with sour cream, guacamole, or salsa for added flavor.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Reheat gently in a microwave or skillet to prevent the tortillas from becoming tough.
