I have made this dish several times now and we all love the recipe. I also slice the chicken breasts to flatten them out which makes it easier to pile on the toppings...it is also easier to make sure the chicken meat is cooked through. I use 1/2 fat creme fraiche instead of soured cream to make the dish a little healthier. A real store cupboard success.
My husband really liked these,but i found that the soured cream made the tortillas turn soggy and it also curdled a bit which wasn't pleasant,but next time i make it i'm gonna just serve the soured cream with it after its cooked,and i'm sure that will make them a whole lot better (well for me anyway!lol!)
Quick, easy and fantastic flavours. I made it twice in one week for different friends - the first time I used crisps instead of tortilla chips as someone had finished the pack I had for a late night snack! worked fine. Served them with Mexican rice & bean salad from this site (although I served the rice hot rather than as a salad) and Mexican spiced wedges with sour cream on the side.
