Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large flour tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded cooked chicken (rotisserie or leftover)
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend)
  • 1 tablespoon butter or oil
  • Optional toppings: salsa, sour cream, guacamole

Instructions

Notes

  • For extra crispy tortillas, use a little more butter or oil in the skillet.
  • You can add other fillings like black beans, corn, or diced onions.
