Chicken Tortillas

Today's post actually looks like it belongs on a blog called cerebral stew. It's a recipe especially for my coworker, the great Freddie V. Try it out and enjoy!
Ingredients:
1 pack of 10 flour tortilla shells
2-3 boneless, skinless, chicken breasts, cubed (small)
1/4 c. Diced onion
1/4 c. Diced Green pepper
8 oz chunky salsa, mild
1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
(2) 8 oz packs shredded cheese, mexican blend and mild cheddar (or your favorite)
1 small bottle montgomery inn bbq sauce (or your favorite)
1 tbsp vegetable oil
1 tsp of the following:
Seasoned salt
Black pepper
Garlic powder
Italian seasoning
Dried parsley

Heat oil in a skillet on medium.  Add chicken, onions, green peppers, and seasonings. Cook until chicken is cooked through (no pink), stirring frequently.  Add salsa and beans & heat until warm. Set aside.
In another skillet, prepare tortilla shells per package directions.  Once prepared, set aside.
Using a tablespoon, pour a spoonful of BBQ sauce onto one side of tortilla wrap and spread thin.  It should cover the entire side (it reminds me of a pizza, pre-toppings).  Scoop a generous amount of the chicken mixture onto the center of the tortilla.  Sprinkle shredded cheese directly on top of the chicken, being sure to cover the mixture.  Fold one side of the tortilla to cover the chicken and cheese.  Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, and roll the folded end towards the open end of the tortilla.  Place folded-side down in a glass baking dish.  Repeat for remaining tortillas.
Bake on 400 degrees for 10 minutes, or until cheese is melted.

Serve and enjoy.  Makes 10.
