# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • You get that restaurant quality takeout flavor without waiting for delivery or spending a fortune
  • The combination of hot chicken and cool crisp vegetables creates a texture contrast that keeps every bite interesting
02 -
  • Crowding the pan will steam the chicken instead of searing it, so cook in two batches if your skillet is small
  • Let the cooked chicken rest for a couple of minutes before assembling, which keeps the tortillas from getting soggy
03 -
  • A splash of rice vinegar in the marinade cuts through the sweetness
  • Toast your tortillas lightly for extra flavor and structure
