Very good and easy! I made a couple of minor changes. I browned some chopped onion with the chicken, used granulated garlic and added salt and pepper. I also steamed the tortillas in the microwave between some damp paper towels to make it a bit lower in fat. Served it with sour cream and black olives. I'm looking forward to having the leftovers for lunch tomorrow! Thanks for posting this.
