Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

    Add diced onions and bell peppers to the skillet. Sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

  5. 5

    In the same skillet, place one tortilla and sprinkle half with a layer of cheddar and mozzarella cheese.

  6. 6

    Add a portion of the chicken mixture on top of the cheese, then sprinkle more cheese on top before folding the tortilla in half.

  7. 7

    Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

  8. 8

    Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling. Cut into wedges and serve with sour cream and salsa if desired.
