Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced

  3. Place the tortilla butter-side-down in the skillet and spread half of the chicken mixture evenly on top.
  4. Top with another tortilla, butter-side-up.
  5. Cook 3–4 minutes per side, pressing lightly with a spatula, until golden brown and cheese is melted.
