Special Tips or Variations:
- For a vegetarian option, substitute chicken with sautéed mushrooms or black beans.
- Add sliced avocado or guacamole for extra creaminess.
- Use corn tortillas for a gluten-free alternative.
- If you like it spicy, add a few dashes of hot sauce or chopped jalapeños.
- Prepare double the chicken and store leftovers in the refrigerator for quick taco lunches later in the week.
