Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine cooked chicken, shredded cheddar cheese, diced bell peppers, diced zucchini, corn kernels, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the filling.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, then place one tortilla in the skillet and add a generous portion of the chicken and vegetable filling on one half of the tortilla.
- Fold the tortilla over to cover the filling and press down gently with a spatula, cooking for about 3-4 minutes until the bottom is golden brown.
