Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 6 soft flour tortillas
  • 10 oz shredded Mexican cheese blend
  • 2 tbsp canola oil
  • 1 yellow onion (chopped)
  • 3 garlic cloves (crushed)
  • 2 tbsp all purpose flour

  • 2 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 2 tsp white granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp garlic powder

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Sauté onions and garlic until fragrant. Add chicken and cook until no longer pink. Shred the cooked chicken.
