This is a recipe that is a GREAT way to use up that left over grilled chicken, or even a perfect excuse to grill some.
Remember, when grilling chicken breasts, the longer you marinate them (use Italian dressing) the juicer they will stay! It also gives it a little zest of flavor, so you don't feel like you're just eating cardboard!
What you will need:
Tortillas, size doesn't matter
at least 2 large chicken breasts, grilled
blended cheese (Mexican or taco)
Pepper Jack cheese (you can just use the slices or you can shred it. the easy way is break up the slices)
2 large onions (very important to know that the color will vastly change how these taste. I do not recommend sweet onions. White or yellow work wonderfully)
Margarine
Pepper
Optional:
Jalapenos
Salsa of your choice
Sour Cream
taco sauce
These are used to top them when serving, so that part of it is all up to you
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Slice the grilled chicken into strips. If it's been in the fridge, microwave it for about 30 seconds after you cut it.
Peel the onions and cut off the bottom and the top waste. Cut the onions in half from top to bottom, then slice them you will get what looks like half rings. In a large skillet, melt two table spoons of margarine over MEDIUM heat and toss in the onions. Pepper them to your taste. Stir them frequently (I use the same utensil I stir pasta with for this. It works wonderfully). Saute the onions until they begin to turn clear. Make sure to stir them frequently so that they all cook down as well. Once they are done, remove them from the heat and put them to the side.
Lay out 3 or 4 large tortillas on a cookie sheet. Put them in the oven for about 2 minutes and remove them. place your chicken, onions and cheese on one side of the tortilla, evenly distributed along that half. Don't be stingy, but don't overfill it either, you need to be able to fold the tortilla over. Once you have filled it, fold the tortilla over and sprinkle some shredded cheese on top. Put them back in the oven for about 10 minutes, or until all the cheese is melted (may take more or less time depending on how much you used).
Once the cheese is melted, take them out of the oven, and let them cool for a few minutes.
Once they cool for a few minutes, you can cut them up and serve them!
Top them any way you choose!
You can also use steak or shrimp as a substitute. You can tweak it and add things like mushrooms and bell pepper.
