Tips for Success:
- Chicken: Rotisserie chicken works great for this recipe, but you can also use any cooked chicken you have on hand.
- Tortillas: Corn tortillas are preferred for a more authentic taste, but flour tortillas can be substituted if desired.
- Cheese: Feel free to use other cheese blends like Monterey Jack or Cheddar, or stick with the Mexican Fiesta blend for an extra cheesy punch.
