Yield Serves 2; can be doubled

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 9-inch-diameter (burrito size) jalapeño- or other chili-flavored flour tortillas
Vegetable oil
1 1/2 cups (packed) shredded Mexican-blend cheeses
1 1/2 cups (packed) shredded Mexican-seasoned or other purchased roasted chicken
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Brush 2 tortillas with oil. Place tortillas, oil side down, on baking sheet. Sprinkle each with 1/4 of cheese, half of chicken, half of cilantro, and 1/4 of cheese, leaving 3/4-inch border. Top each with 1 tortilla, pressing to adhere; brush top with oil.
