  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil For cooking

Preparation

  • Prepare the salsa chicken by cooking chicken with salsa until fully cooked. Shred the chicken.

Cooking

  • Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a little olive oil.
  • Place a tortilla in the skillet and layer with refried beans, shredded salsa chicken, and cheese.
  • Top with another tortilla and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  • Remove from the skillet and cut into mini wedges.

Serving

Notes

Make sure your skillet is hot enough before adding the tortillas for even cooking. Experiment with different cheeses and add vegetables for extra nutrition. Leftover chicken works great for this recipe.
