Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F. Spray a 13x18 baking sheet with cooking oil. Line the edge of the baking dish with the tortillas so about half of the tortilla hangs over. They will later be folded over. Close the gap in the middle with more tortillas.

  • Place a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and diced onion and pepper. Sauté a few minutes until the veggies are softened. Turn off the heat and allow the veggies to slightly cool.
    Pan with bell peppers and onion.
  • Evenly spread out two cups of cheese onto the tortillas. Follow with the cooked chicken, then the onions and peppers. Sprinkle taco seasoning over the mixture, and top with the remaining two cups of cheese.

  • Fold the tortillas over and add more tortillas to the center so the filling is completely covered.

  • Spread softened butter over the tortillas. Place another sheet pan over the tortillas to keep the tortillas from puffing up and browning too quickly. Bake for 15 minutes then remove the top pan, and bake uncovered until golden brown, and cooked through. Remove from the oven, slice, and enjoy!
