Chicken and Cheese Stuffed Tortillas

Ingredients

• 3 Flour tortillas (Cut in half)
• 180 g Cooked chicken breast (Previously cooked with salt and spices, shredded or cut into small pieces)
• 3 Sliced cheese (Approximately half a slice for each tortilla half; use around 20 g per slice)
• 80 g Grated mozzarella (For covering the tortillas before baking)
• 1 tsp Oil or nonstick cooking spray (For greasing the baking dish)
• Salt (To taste, for seasoning the chicken)
• Spices (To taste, for seasoning the chicken)

Steps

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 200 °C.

2. 2

   Cut the 3 tortillas in half to obtain 6 semicircles.

3. 3

   Place some previously cooked and seasoned chicken breast in the center of each tortilla half.

4. 4

   Add half a slice of cheese over the chicken in each tortilla.

5. 5

   Close each tortilla by folding it over the filling to form a stuffed piece.

6. 6

   Lightly grease an oven-safe baking dish with oil or nonstick cooking spray.

7. 7

   Place the stuffed tortillas in the baking dish, arranging them close together with the seam side down so they maintain their shape.

8. 8

   Cover the tortillas with the grated mozzarella, distributing it evenly.

9. 9

   Bake for approximately 15 minutes at 200 °C, until the mozzarella has melted and is golden and gratinated.

10. 10

    Remove from the oven and serve hot.

Notes

The amounts of chicken, sliced cheese, and mozzarella were not specified in the original post; they were estimated for 3 tortillas. Monitor the baking closely to prevent the tortillas from drying out: they should remain hot, with the cheese well gratinated.
