fat free refried beans or black beans

low fat Mozzarella cheese

bag of Tyson Frozen grilled chicken {pre-cooked}

lettuce

tomatoes

fat free sour cream

green salsa from La Victoria {we used our salsa}

Use a skillet or a griddle and place on stove top

at medium heat. Spread a small layer like a table spoon of

either beans on your corn

tortillas. Spray the bottom of them with the

spray butter and place butter

side down on the skillet.

Add 1 T. of cheese to each tortilla

In the meantime warm the chicken in the microwave.

Once it is warm add it to the tortilla. Let it cook

until it starts to get crispy on the bottom.

Remove from the skillet and place on a plate.
