Ingredients

  • 1 lb chicken breast
  • Olive oil
  • 2 TBSP of butter
  • 1/2 tsp each of salt and pepper
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne
  • 2 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp each of cumin, paprika, and dried cilantro
  • White corn tortillas
  • 1 cup Queso Blanco Velveeta
  • 1 can Rotel Mexican Style Lime & Cilantro

Instructions

  • Cut chicken up into small pieces. Add 2 TBSP of butter to a skillet over medium high heat. Season with salt, cayenne, chili powder, cumin, paprika, dried cilantro, and black pepper. Cook chicken until it reaches an internal temp of 165 degrees.
  • Add the rotel (I drained just the very top of the juice from the can) and the Velvetta to the skillet. Stir and let sit until the cheese melts.
  • Add a little bit of oil to another skillet. Warm up corn tortillas in the microwave. Add a scoop of the cheesy chicken to a tortilla. Fold tortilla in half and cook until both sides are golden brown and crispy.
  • Enjoy!! These are so good with sour cream and Pico de Gallo!
