Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 8 corn tortillas
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 1/2 cup salsa
- 2 tbsp oil
Amounts are scaled from the original 4 servings; cooking times may change for bigger batches.
Steps
- Fill each tortilla with chicken and cheese and fold.
- Fry in oil over medium heat 2-3 minutes per side until crisp and the filling is steaming hot (165°F).
- Serve with salsa.
Swaps
- Turkey works the same way as chicken; cook both to 165°F.
- Any good melting cheese works: Monterey Jack, mozzarella, Colby or a blend.
Times are a guide; ovens and air fryers vary. Cook poultry to 165°F, ground meat to 160°F, and pork and fish to 145°F. Diet tags come from the ingredient list; check labels for allergens.
