Ingredients
Cheddar Cheese 2 cups, shredded
Chicken Breast 1 lb
Chili Powder ½ tsp
Cumin 1 tsp
Olive Oil 1 tbsp
Salt 1 tsp
Tortillas 4 large
Instructions
  1. Season chicken with cumin, chili powder, salt, and a drizzle of olive oil.
  2. Cook in a hot skillet 6–7 minutes per side until cooked through. Rest 3 minutes then slice thinly.
  3. Wipe out skillet. Place over medium heat.
  4. Lay one tortilla in the pan. Sprinkle half of it with shredded cheddar, add sliced chicken, a little more cheese (the second layer of cheese acts as glue), then fold the empty half over.
  5. Cook 2.5–3 minutes until golden and crispy on the bottom. Flip carefully using a wide spatula.
  6. Cook 2 more minutes until the second side matches.
  7. Slide onto a cutting board and rest 1 minute before cutting into 3 wedges — this sets the cheese so it doesn't all pour out.
  8. Serve with hot sauce or Greek yogurt.
