Pasta is so versatile that you can have it with almost anything, and it will make the meal better. It's subtle taste and soft texture give it the ability to pair different cuisines from all over the world. But, there is one crucial caveat to mention.

It is hard not to like chicken thighs. Despite being one of the cheapest meats, they are packed with more flavor and healthy fats than costlier cuts like chicken breast.

You can also make larger tortillas and serve 1 per person if you use the original recipe. You can find the tortilla recipe here, but I've ...

I’m using ham and Swiss cheese, but you can use any combination of meat and cheese that you like to create your own special versions! Salami and mozzarella, or turkey and provolone would be great too. Serve this up on some lettuce for that true restaurant-style experience.
