Recipe View Warm the flour tortillas according to package directions or in a dry skillet. Spoon the chicken and vegetable mixture into the warm tortillas. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings such as sour cream, guacamole, salsa, or shredded cheese.

For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinade.
If you don't have fresh lime, bottled lime juice can be substituted, but the flavor will be slightly different.
For best results, marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to fully penetrate.
