Any yummy chicken tortilla recipes?

You know, kind of like the soft tacos or something you get at Taco Bell, with the great sour cream type sauce on it.Any yummy chicken tortilla recipes?
I have two!


Pace Chicken Chimichangas


2 1/2 cups shredded or chopped cooked chicken


2/3 cup pace picante sauce


1/3 cup green onion slices


3/4 tsp.to 1 tsp. ground cumin


1/2 tsp. oregano leaves, crushed


1/2 tsp. salt


8 flour tortillas (7-8 inch)


1/4 cup melted butter or margarine


1 cup(4oz.) shredded cheddar cheese or monterey jack cheese


Combine chicken, pace picante sauce,green onion,cumin, oregano, and salt in a saucepan, simmer 5 minutes or until most of liquid is evaporated. Brush one side of the tortillas with butter.Spoon about 1/3 cup chicken mixture onto center of unbuttered sides; top with 2 TBSP. cheese. Fold 2 sides over filling fold ends down ( I just roll them up b/c totillas sometimes fall apart when trying to fold ends in) Place seam side down in a 13 x 9 x 2 inch baking dish Bake in a 475 degree oven about 13 minutes or until crisp and golden brown. Top with guacamole %26amp; addtional pace picante sauce, if desired. Someitmes I just make filling and eat on warmed up flour tortillas without baking. They are just as good like that.








Chicken %26amp; Rice Burritos


1/3 cup sliced green onions, 1 clove garlic minced, 2 TBSP. butter, 7 cups shredded cooked chicken, 1 TBSP. chili powder, 2 1/2 cups chicken broth, divided, 1 jar(16 oz.) picante sauce, divided, 1 cup uncooked long grain rice, 1/2 cup sliced ripe olives, 3 cups cheddar cheese, divided 12 flour tortillas (1o inches, warmed)


In a skillet, saute onions and garlic in butter until tender. Stir in chicken, chili powder, 1/4 cup chicken broth, and 3/4 cup of picante sauce. Heat through and set aside. In medium saucepan, bring rice and remaining broth to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer 20 minutes. Stir in remaining picante sauce; cover and simmer 5-10 minutes or until rice is tender. Stir into chicken mixture. Add olives(if desired) %26amp; 2 cups of cheese. Spoon 1 cup of filling in center of each tortilla. Fold sides and ends and then fold up. Arrange burritos into a greased 13 x 9 inch pan. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake at 375 degrees for 10 - 15 minutes covered with aluminum foil.

Girl, if you want to eat good Mexican food, you got to meet some Mexicans. Taco Bell isn't Mexican food.
Slow cook your chicken (crock pot - on low overnight) cool and then shred the meat. Return the meat to the crock pot and add red chili powder (to taste, but start with about 1 TBSP), sliced onions, garlic, salt %26amp; pepper to taste and enough water to cover mixture. Simmer for a few more hours. Put some meat mixture into a soft flour tortilla, add shreaded lettuce, tomatos, onions, avocados %26amp; salsa. Top with dollop of sour cream. Fold in half like a taco and enjoy!!
