Recipe FAQs

→ Can I use pre-cooked chicken?
Absolutely, shredded, cooked chicken works perfectly.
→ What’s the best cheese for these?
Monterey Jack melts beautifully, but cheddar or a Mexican blend are great too.
→ Can I prep these beforehand?
They're best when eaten fresh for that crispy bite.
→ Which BBQ sauce should I pick?
Go for whatever you like - smoky, sweet, or even spicy!
→ How do I keep them crispy?
Cook over medium-high heat and avoid overloading the tortilla.
