FAQs:

1. Can I use flour tortillas instead of corn tortillas?

• Yes, you can use flour tortillas if you prefer. However, keep in mind that corn tortillas are typically gluten-free, while flour tortillas contain gluten.

2. Can I make this recipe vegetarian?

• Absolutely! You can omit the chicken and use additional vegetables like bell peppers, onions, or zucchini as a substitute. You can also add cooked beans such as black beans or pinto beans for extra protein and fiber.

3. Can I adjust the level of spiciness?

• Yes, you can adjust the spiciness by adding more or less diced jalapenos or chili powder according to your taste preferences. You can also omit the jalapenos altogether if you prefer a milder flavor.
