- Take a tortilla, top with about 1/4 cup of the chicken mixture, then roll it up and place in the prepared baking dish. Continue with all the tortillas until they are all filled and rolled. You should have enough chicken mixture to fill 6 tortillas.

These turned out AMAZING. My boyfriend and I were scraping out plates! Will definitely be one we make again.
Yay! Love hearing this!
It was great! I poached the chicken breasts in chicken broth prior to shredding them, and that worked out well. Great comfort food for winter.
