Do you mean 3-4 chicken breasts?
One other question……what do you mean when you say to prepare the tortillas and add them into the chicken mixture? Are you supposed to cut them up or something?
I’m confused by this part as well. I searched the entire article a couple times and it doesn’t specify. I am going to just shred mine or tear them and add. Not sure if that’s correct but worth a shot!
