Notes

Fancy Mom Tip ✨💋

Letting the tortilla crisp in a little oil before adding the cheese gives you that perfect crunchy outside, while the bubbling cheese helps hold everything together. Keep the dried parsley on the chicken and the fresh cilantro in the salsa for the best balance of flavor. For a milder salsa, remove the jalapeño seeds and white membrane before chopping.
