Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 flour tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded cooked chicken
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend)
  • 1 tablespoon butter or oil

Instructions

  1. Lay one tortilla flat. Sprinkle half the cheese over one half of the tortilla.
  2. Top the cheese with the shredded chicken, spreading it evenly.
  3. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the chicken.
  4. Fold the other half of the tortilla over the filling to create a half-moon shape.
  5. Heat butter or oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  6. Carefully place the folded tortilla into the hot skillet.
  7. Cook for 3-5 minutes per side, until the tortilla is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted.
  8. Remove from skillet, let cool slightly, then cut into wedges.

Notes

  • You can add sautéed onions, peppers, or a pinch of taco seasoning to the chicken for extra flavor.
  • Use leftover rotisserie chicken for a quick shortcut.
