This is a great recipe for a healthy meal. I used whole-wheat tortillas and low-fat cheese. It was still delicious and it didn't feel heavy.

I'm on a low-carb diet, so I made this recipe without the tortillas. It was still delicious! I just added a little extra cheese to the top.

I'm a vegetarian, so I made this recipe with tofu instead of chicken. It turned out great! The tofu was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
