Refried beans or black beans may be added into the chicken mixture if desired, also, if you are concerned about soggy chips you might want to pre-bake them in the oven for 5-7 minutes insure crispiness, though I have no trouble with the blue tortillas. If you like spicy throw on some sliced jalapeño rings with the tomatoes or add some finely chopped jalapeño into the chicken mixture...you will *love* this! :)

1 -2 tablespoon fresh minced garlic
