This recipe can also be made substituting Tempeh for chicken and vegetable broth for chicken broth to make it vegetarian.

If you do not like flour tortillas Corn tortillas can be substituted for the flour. If you use corn tortillas be sure to cook them for 20 seconds per side with a little oil over medium heat and cool on a paper towel lined baking sheet prior assembling them.
