"Super-tasty and crispy. This is definitely one of my all-time favorite things to make."

Original recipe yields 5 servings

I've Tried It

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425F.

Step 2

Heat one tablespoon oil over medium heat in a skillet. Add onion and cook until starting to soften and turn translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Add garlic, chipotle pepper, cumin and seasoning. Stir to combine and cook 3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in cilantro and chicken. Finally, stir in the cheese. Set aside.

Step 3

Heat up tortillas in the microwave for 30-60 seconds so they are more pliable. At this point I also like to divide the chicken mixture into 12 equal-sized "piles," which makes constructing the tortillas go much quicker. Also, get a baking sheet or pan ready by brushing it with a generous amount of oil.

Step 4

Lay tortilla on a work surface and spread chicken mixture over bottom third; roll up into a tube shape. Place seam side down on the baking sheet. Repeat with remaining tortillas. Brush tortillas with oil and bake until crisp and lightly browned, 15-18 minutes.

Step 5

Serve immediately. You can eat those by hand, but I like to top them with yummy stuff like chunky guacamole, pico de gallo, sour cream and hot sauce and then eat them with a fork and knife.
