Ingredients

625 g shredded cooked chicken

1 (4 oz) can chopped green chilies

60 ml green salsa (such as Herdez®)

1 tsp chili powder

0.5 tsp ground cumin

0.25 tsp garlic powder

12 (15 cm) flour tortillas

250 g shredded Mexican cheese blend

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 190°C.

Step 2

In a skillet over medium-low heat, combine chicken, chilies, salsa, chili powder, cumin, and garlic powder. Cook and stir until heated through, about 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat.

Step 3

Meanwhile, heat 2 to 3 tortillas at a time in the microwave until soft and pliable, about 20 to 25 seconds each. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.

Step 4

Place a tortilla on a work surface. Spoon some chicken mixture in a line towards one end of the tortilla, and top with some cheese. Roll tightly, taking care not to tear the tortilla. Secure with two toothpicks. Repeat with the remaining tortillas, chicken, and cheese. Arrange the filled tortillas in a baking dish.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven for 7 minutes. Flip and bake for an additional 7 minutes or until golden.
