  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 to 10 wheat flour tortillas, 25 cm each
  • 600 g shredded cooked chicken
  • 1 tablespoon chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, finely chopped
  • Salt, to taste
  • 475 g sour cream, divided
  • 200 g shredded pepper jack cheese or mozzarella
  • Olive oil, for brushing

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 220°C.

  3. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper and brush lightly with olive oil.
