For extra flavor, try using roasted chicken breasts.
Add a pinch of cumin or chili powder for a deeper, more complex flavor profile.
If you don't have corn tortillas, flour tortillas can be used as a substitute, although the texture will be slightly different.
Serve with a dollop of extra sour cream, a sprinkle of fresh cilantro, and a side of your favorite hot sauce.
