I tried this recipe and the chicken filling was delicious, but even after warming up the corn tortilla's I couldn't get them to roll up without flaking and breaking. Any suggestions?
I always buy the freshest pkg. I can find (but I guess that's a given). I also only take 3 tortillas at a time, and wrap them up in a paper towel, so they are completely covered by it. Then microwave for 30-60 seconds and use them immediately. Hopefully that will work!! I should have mentioned the part about the paper towel. That really helps me. Good luck! and let me know if it helped.
