Notes
You do not need to pickle the onion if you haven't planned ahead for it, however it does add a great twist to the dish.
Additionally, I have a gas stove which I used to blister the flour tortillas in the image rather than placing them in the microwave. Either method works great.
You also don't need to use the chicken seasoning recipe provided if you don't want to. I've used a variety of different chicken seasonings with success. Any Mexican or Caribbean chicken season will taste great.
