Ingredients
- 12 corn tortillas (white or yellow)
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Filling
- 4 cups shredded cooked chicken breast (such as rotisserie)
- 2 cups salsa verde
- 8 ounces crumbled cotija cheese
Optional Toppings
- cilantro, minced red onion, Cotija cheese, salsa verde
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 425 degrees and line a baking sheet with foil. Spray with cooking spray; set aside.
- 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.
- 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.
- Bake until golden brown and crispy, about 20 minutes. Garnish with toppings of choice to serve.

Notes
