Ingredients
- 2-3 tablespoon olive oil
- two ounce 4-ounce boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 16 corn tortillas
Directions
- Brush a stove-top grill pan or griddle with olive oil and preheat to medium-high. Season both sides of the chicken with the salt and black pepper. Add the chicken to the hot pan and cook for 5 –7 minutes per side, until cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan and, when cool enough to handle, shred the chicken with two forks.
- Transfer the shredded chicken to a medium saucepan and add the salsa. Set the pan over medium heat and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 2 minutes to heat through. Remove the pan from the heat and set aside.
- Wrap four of the tortillas in a paper towel and microwave on high for 20 seconds to soften. Arrange the tortillas on a flat surface and spoon the chicken mixture onto each tortilla. Roll the tortillas up tightly and secure with wooden picks. Arrange the tortillas side by side on a large baking sheet and brush the surface with the olive oil. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and chicken, working in batches of four to prevent the tortillas from drying out.
- Transfer the baking sheet to the oven and bake for 25–30 minutes, until the tortillas are golden brown and crisp.
