- Let rest for 5 minutes.
- Strain chicken in a fine mesh strainer or colander.
- Place 1 flour tortilla in a large skillet.
- Top half with cheese, then chicken, and top with more cheese.
- Fold in half and cook on medium heat for about 5 minutes or until tortilla starts to brown.
- Flip and cook another 3-5 minutes.
- Slice into triangles with pizza cutter.
- Serve with sour cream and salsa.
Notes
- *You can use fresh or frozen chicken breast. If using frozen, set pressure to 10 minutes instead of 5.
- *Straining the chicken prevents the tortilla from getting soggy.
- *Freshly shredded cheese is best, but you can use pre-shredded as a shortcut.
- *Store leftover chicken in sauce in refrigerator for up to 2 days. If using fresh chicken, leftovers can be frozen in freezer bag or freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. Defrost contents in container in bowl of warm water. Heat in saucepan or in microwave. Strain before using.
