Equipment

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 200 degrees F.
  • In a medium bowl, combine cheeses.
  • Heat 1 teaspoon vegetable oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium low heat. Working one at a time, add 1 tortilla to the skillet and sprinkle with 1/3 cup cheese mixture in an even layer.
  • Top with 1/3 cup chicken on half of the tortilla; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
