Ingredients

  • 6 large tortillas
  • 2 chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon, each garlic powder, chili pwder, onion powder, and paprika, also salt and pepper to taste
  • 3 cups prepared spanish rice*
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar
  • 1 can refried beans**
  • 1 can green chilies
  • 1 can sliced black olives
  • various salsas, and sour cream for dipping.

Instructions

  • Begin by preparing spanish rice if using. This will take the longest to cook so I start this first.
  • Cut chicken into thin or flat strips and place in a large bowl. Sprinkle garlic, chili, onion, and paprika over chicken and mix using tongs or wooden spoon.
  • Place skillet over medium to medium high heat. Add chicken once pan is warmed up. Cook about 3-4 minutes, flip, cook additional 3 minutes.
  • Gather all ingredients in one spot for easy distribution on tortillas.
  • Place tortilla on cutting board or plate, and, using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, make one cut from the edge to the center.
  • Visually dividing up the circular tortilla into four quarters, add desired ingredients to each quarter, keeping it flat.
  • From the lower left quarter, fold up, then over to the right, then finally fold down completing the triangle(ish) shape.
  • Place in skillet, no oil needed, and "fry" until crisy and golden brown on both sides.
  • Dip into your favorite salsa, sour cream, or cheese dip if desired!

Notes

*Spanish rice is easy! Here's my recipe. 
**A great mod for a can of refried beans is to add 1/4 cup each heavy cream and sour cream, mixing well in a saucepan over medium heat until all incorporated and hot.
