Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider using a homemade avocado dip with fresh lime juice. If you don't have cooked chicken on hand, shredded rotisserie chicken works perfectly. You can also use canned chicken for convenience. For a vegetarian version, substitute the chicken with black beans or grilled vegetables. Adjust the level of Tabasco to your taste preference.
Serving Suggestions
These Easy Sombrero Roll-Ups make a fantastic appetizer for parties or game days. Serve them with a side of fresh guacamole or a salad for a complete meal.

Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover roll-ups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. If you wish to reheat them, use a microwave on a low setting to prevent the tortilla from becoming too chewy. Enjoy them cold as a refreshing snack, or consider serving them warm with melted cheese on top.
