Main Ingredients

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded Use leftover rotisserie chicken for quicker preparation.

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large bowl, mix the shredded chicken with taco seasoning and salsa.
In a separate bowl, combine the shredded cheese and diced tomatoes.
Take a tortilla, fill it with the chicken mixture, and sprinkle the cheese-tomato mixture on top.
Place the filled tortillas in a baking dish and repeat until all tortillas are filled.

Baking

Bake in the oven for about 15-20 minutes until the tortillas are crispy and the cheese is melted.

Notes

Let leftovers cool completely first and store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm them in the oven at 350°F (175°C).
