"I created these after ordering something similar at a local restaurant," explains Deborah Hord of Concord, North Carolina. "My husband loves the crispy tortillas and spicy filling."

Ingredients

  • 4 flour tortillas (8 inches)
  • 1 package (6 ounces) ready-to-use Southwestern chicken strips
  • 1 can (10 ounces) diced tomatoes and green chiles, well drained
  • 1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend
  • Optional: Shredded lettuce, sliced ripe olives and chopped tomatoes

Directions

  1. Coat one side of 2 tortillas with cooking spray; place coated side down on an ungreased baking sheet. Top each with chicken, tomatoes and cheese. Cover with remaining tortillas; spritz tops with cooking spray.
  2. Bake at 450° for 10 minutes or until golden brown. Cut into wedges. Garnish with lettuce, olives and tomatoes if desired.
