FAQs:

- 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?
