Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the bell pepper and onion and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until softened.
  2. Stir in the chicken, paprika, garlic powder, oregano, and salt. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until hot.
  3. Place a tortilla in a clean skillet over medium-low heat. Sprinkle cheese over one half, add a layer of chicken mixture, and top with a little more cheese.
  4. Fold the tortilla over the filling and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until golden underneath.
  5. Flip carefully and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes until the second side is golden and the cheese is melted.
  6. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
  7. Rest for 1 minute, slice into wedges, and serve with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • Keep the heat at medium-low so the tortilla becomes crisp without burning before the cheese melts.
