# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The balance of sweet heat from the chili sauce with fresh crunchy vegetables is addictive
  • Everything comes together in one pan so cleanup is almost non existent
  • You can customize the fillings based on what is in your fridge
02 -
  • Do not skip marinating the chicken even for a few minutes as it makes the flavor so much deeper
  • Warm tortillas are crucial because cold ones will crack and make a mess when you try to roll them
  • Slice the vegetables thinly so they roll easily and every bite gets all the flavors
03 -
  • Double the marinade and save half for a dipping sauce on the side
  • Toast the tortillas lightly in the pan for extra flavor and texture
