Mix the chicken and chili crunch until well combined and warmed trough. No need to cook, just warm for about 2 minutes. Remove and set aside.
- Fresh Chicken - if you are using rotisserie chicken that you just baked or picked up from the store and it's still warm, then just chop it and mix well with chili crunch until all the chicken is coated. Set Aside.

This method can sometimes make tortillas a bit gummy.
