Time 5m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1 boneless skinless chicken breast, cut horizontally into 2 pieces (approx. 1/2 lb)
1/4 cup chopped green onion
1/4 cup medium chunky salsa
2 large whole wheat tortillas
1/4 cup finely shredded tex-mex cheese

Steps:

  • In a large non-stick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Cook chicken, covered, until browned and cooked through, about 12 minutes. Cool slightly and shred. Transfer to a bowl and mix with onion and salsa.
  • Divide mixture evenly between tortillas. Sprnkle with cheese. Fold in sides, and roll up to enclose filling. Wrap individually in parchment paper and store in a resealable plastic freezer bag to freeze.
  • To serve, microwave, one at a time, on HIGH until the filling is hot, about 2 minutes from frozen or 1 minute from fresh. Let stand at least 2 minutes before eating. Alternatively, remove parchment paper, wrap in foil, and bake in a 350F oven for abour 20 minutes from frozen or cook unwrapped in a panini press , grill pan, or skillet until tortilla is golden, filling is hot and cheese is melted, about 8 minutes, from fresh.
