Common Recipe Questions
- → How do I get the chicken extra crispy?

Yes, turkey bacon or pancetta work well as alternatives, offering unique flavor profiles while retaining a crispy texture.

Sharp cheddar adds a nice tang and melts slightly; Monterey Jack or mozzarella provide creamier, milder options.

Warm tortillas briefly in a dry skillet or microwave to make them pliable and easier to roll without tearing.
