Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray a 18x13 inch sheet pan with non-stick spray. Set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil. Add the onion, bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for 3 minutes or until the onion begs to soften and gets translucent.
- Add the chicken, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper to the skillet. Stir well and cook for 5 minutes or until heated through. Stir sour cream into the mixture.
- Place 6 of the flour tortillas around the edges of the prepared sheet pan with the tortillas hanging halfway over the edge of the pan. Leave a gap in the center. Place 1 tortilla in the middle to cover the center gap.
- Evenly spread the chicken mixture over the top of the tortillas. Then sprinkle the cheese over the top of the meat.
- Place the last tortilla in the center of the mixture. Then fold the tortillas that are hanging over the edge of the pan towards the middle.
- Place a second sheet pan on top of the folded tortillas and press down gently.
- Place in the preheated oven at 425 degrees Fahrenheit and bake for 20 minutes, remove top sheet pan and bake an additional 5 minutes until the top is golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and allow to slightly cool then cut into servings. Top with your favorite toppings like sour cream, salsa, guacamole, pico de gallo etc.
