1 1/2 lb. Chicken, cooked, shredded (see above for oven baked chicken recipe)
8 Tortillas
2 tbsp. Olive Oil
1 tsp. Ground Cumin
1 tsp. Garlic Powder
1 tsp. Chili Powder
1/2 tsp. Salt
1/2 tsp. Black Pepper
1/2 cup Shredded Mexican Cheese
Cilantro, for serving
Salsa, for serving

Preheat oven to 425F. Lightly grease with olive oil a baking tray or line with parchment paper.
Heat up the tortillas on a griddle until soft.

Add a generous amount of the shredded chicken and shredded Mexican cheese into the center of each tortillas. Wrap up like a burrito and place seam-side down in the prepared baking pan. If possible, space the tortillas out so there is 1/2" in-between each (to make them crispy all around).
