Print
4 large flour tortillas1 lb Tequila Marinated Chicken (*see Cook’s note)
1 cup cheddar cheese, grated
1 cup smoked gouda cheese, grated
½ cup roasted corn
½ red bell pepper, chopped
½ cup green onions, chopped
*Cook’s Note:
- find Tequila Marinated Chicken in the Sauces/Rubs section
Heat a large, heavy frying pan to medium high heat. Oil the pan. Take one tortilla and place it in the pan. Flip the tortilla a few times, 10 seconds between flips. When air pockets begin to form and tortilla is warm, start adding ingredients. Layer ¼ of cheese, chicken, pepper, corn, and green onions on the tortilla. Keep in mind not to overload the tortilla. Fold the tortilla in half. Reduce heat to low. The pan should have enough residual heat to melt the cheese and brown the tortilla. Cover and let cook until cheese is melted. Flip once to brown the tortilla on both sides. Remove from pan and cut into wedges. Repeat 3 more times with the rest of the ingredients.
