These were fantastic! I doubled the recipe & got 8. Next time, i'm going to put the filling on even thicker. I think i over-chopped the chicken using the food processor, so next time, i'll finely chop it w/ a knife and add it w/ the cheese. These were delicious & quite a few friends copied out the recipe. Thanks so much. Such an easy make-ahead appetizer!

A thumbs up from me and my boyfriend. I only made one minor change. I used 4 tortillas instead of 6. I was making a snack for 3; so I just didn't need that many. I'll keep this recipe and definitely make again & again.
