Tips

  • Remove tomato seeds to prevent soggy salsa.
  • Pickle brine keeps the chicken tasty and juicy.
  • Use a taco holder to load ingredients easily and prevent messes.
  • Consider adding cheese to the tortillas before loading for extra flavor and gooeyness.
  • A touch of MSG enhances overall flavor (umami).
