Ingredients

  • 2 medium flour tortilla shells
  • 6-8 slices fresh mozzarella
  • ¾ cup shredded rotisserie chicken
  • 1 roma tomato sliced
  • 5-6 fresh basil leaves chopped
  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  • Lightly grease a small skillet with non-stick cooking spray. Alternatively, you can use one tablespoon of butter.
  • Heat skillet over medium heat and lace one shell into skillet. Add 3-4 slices of mozzarella, chicken, tomato slices, basil, and shredded cheese. Fold shell over and lightly press down with a spatula to ensure that the top sticks to the cheese. 
  • Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden and cheese is melted.
  • Repeat with second tortilla shell.
  • Drizzle with balsamic glaze and top with additional basil, if desired. Serve immediately.
