Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
- 1/2 cup salsa
- 1/4 cup diced bell pepper
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 4 flour tortillas (small, about 6-inch)
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- pinch salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix the shredded chicken, half of the cheese, salsa, diced bell pepper, chili powder, cumin, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir until everything is well combined and slightly saucy from the salsa.
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Lightly brush or spray with oil.
- Place a tortilla in the skillet. Sprinkle a thin layer of the remaining cheese over the tortilla.
- Spoon a generous portion of the chicken mixture onto half of the tortilla. Fold the other half over to seal. Press gently with a spatula.
- Cook for 2–3 minutes on each side, until the tortilla is golden and crispy and the cheese has melted inside. If needed, flip carefully to avoid spilling the filling.
- Remove from the skillet and let rest for about 1 minute. Slice into wedges (typically 4 per tortilla). Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
- Serve warm with extra salsa, sour cream, or guacamole on the side for dipping.
