Ingredients

  • 12 corn tortillas (white or yellow)
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Filling
  • 4 cups chicken breast such as rotisserie, shredded, cooked
  • 2 cups salsa verde
  • 8 ounces cotija cheese crumbled
Optional Toppings
  • red onion
  • cotija cheese
  • salsa verde
  • cilantro minced red onion

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Pre-heat oven to 425 degrees and line a baking sheet with foil. Spray with cooking spray; set aside.
  2. Begin warming the tortillas by heading a griddle over high heat and drizzling with olive oil. Warm tortillas in the oil for about 90 seconds per side; keep warm on a plate with a covered towel.
  3. Mix the filling together in a medium bowl by combining the shredded chicken, salsa verde and crumbled cheese. Working one by one, begin placing about 1/4 cup of filling in the towards the bottom of the tortilla. Carefully roll tight like a cigar, placing seam-side down on the baking sheet. Repeat until you've rolled each tortilla.
  4. Bake until golden brown and crispy, about 20 minutes. Garnish with toppings of choice to serve.

Notes

  • These are great with shredded beef as well!
