Number Of Ingredients 4

Ingredients

3 corn tortillas
3 slice chicken strip, cooked or lite spam, sliced thinly
6 Tbsp cheddar cheese, grated
1/2 tsp condiments such as mustard, mayonnaise, salsa or hot sause (optional) good without any condiments also and less messy.

Steps:

1. Spray frying pan and bottom of tortilla. Turn temp on medium low. If using condiments spread on tortilla. Add Spam slices and 2 tablespoons of cheese. Place tortilla in pan. Heat and fold over and heat both sides again. Cook until lightly brown on both sides and a little crispy. Serve warm.
2. Make as many servings as you like with about 2 or 3 tortillas per person. Great for snacks at parties. If you like wheat tortillas try them. I can't eat wheat so I use corn tortillas.
