This celebration of South-of-the-Border flavors, with shredded rotisserie chicken, cheese, cilantro, and chunky salsa sandwiched between flour tortillas, works great for a quick, all-in-one meal or delicious appetizer.

Great recipe however I added about 1/2 cup of black beans to add to the flavor and the beans also make the dish a lot healthier.

An easier way to make these!! Soften the tortillas in the microwave for a few seconds, then fill just 1/2 of the tortilla and fold the other half over! This makes flipping them over so much easier. You can use larger tortillas too with the same method, cut into 1/4's and serve!

I make mine similarly, I put chicken and cheese the the middle, along with a small amount of a taco ranch sauce (ranch and taco sauce)in the middle and additional sauce on the side.
