Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken rotisserie works
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack
  • 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro or parsley if kids reject cilantro
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 8 small flour or corn tortillas
  • 1 tablespoon oil for frying or spray for baking

Method
 

  1. Mix chicken, cheese, cilantro, lime juice, and salt in a bowl. Taste and adjust salt.
  2. Warm tortillas so they bend without cracking. Spoon 2 tablespoons filling down one side and roll tightly.
  3. Heat oil in a skillet over medium. Fry seam-side down until golden, turning once. For baking, place seam-side down on a sheet, spray with oil, and bake at 425°F for 12–15 minutes.
  4. Let cool a minute before serving with salsa or plain yogurt.
