Ingredients
-
1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more for brushing tortillas and oiling a baking sheet
-
1 cup onion, chopped
-
2 garlic cloves, chopped
-
1 teaspoon cumin
-
1 teaspoon paprika
-
1/2 teaspoon sea salt (I used regular salt)
-
1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
-
2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
-
2 cups low sodium chicken broth
-
12 tortillas (6inches)
-
1 cup monterey jack cheese or 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425F and oil a baking sheet.
- Heat olive oil over medium heat in a skillet. Add onions and cook until starting to turn translucent, 3-5 minutes.
- Add garlic, cumin, paprika, and salt. Stir to combine and cook 2 to 3 minutes longer, until fragrant.
- Take from heat and stir in cilantro and chicken. Set aside.
- IF YOU ARE USING FLOUR TORTILLAS:
- Lay tortilla on work surface and spread 2 or 3 tablespoons of chicken mixture over bottom third. Top with cheese and roll up.
- Place seam side down on the baking sheet. Repeat with remaining tortillas. Spray or brush tortillas lightly with oil.
- Bake until crisp and lightly browned, 12-15 minutes. Serve immediately.
- IF YOU ARE USING CORN TORTILLAS.
- Bring chicken broth to a simmer in a skillet or pot wide enough to hold tortillas.
- Dip tortillas one at a time, briefly, just to soften, 1-2 seconds (I find it might take 3-4).
- Lay tortilla on work surface and spread 2 or 3 tablespoons of chicken mixture over bottom third. Top with cheese and roll up.
- Place seam side down on the baking sheet. Repeat with remaining tortillas. Spray or brush tortillas lightly with oil.
- Bake until crisp and lightly browned, 12-15 minutes. Serve immediately.
