Tips & Variations

• Press the tortillas firmly into the muffin tin, so they hold their cup shape
• Bake the cups until fully crisp, or they will soften under the filling
• Fill the cups just before serving, so they stay crunchy
• For extra heat, add diced jalapeño to the avocado mixture

Storage

These are best eaten fresh, as the cups soften once filled. Store leftover chicken, avocado mixture, and cups separately for up to 2 days, and assemble just before serving.
