- In a small dish, whisk the tablespoon of flour and a few tablespoons of the broth together and then return to the pot.(just to thicken the broth a bit).
- Return the shredded chicken to the pot and simmer about 10 more minutes.
- Warm tortillas on a comal (a round flat griddle pan usually cast iron)
