Ingredients
¼ to ½ cup enchilada sauce or salsa
2/3 tsp cumin, ground
1/3 tsp dried oregano

6 flour tortillas
1 1/3 tbsp margarine, melted
Cheese, grated, to serve
Spring onions, to serve - optional
Picante sauce, to serve - optional
Method
Mix the chicken, sauce or salsa, cumin, oregano, cheese and spring onions.
Put about a bit more than ¼ cup of the chicken mixture in the centre of each tortilla.
Fold opposite sides over filling.
Roll up from the bottom and put them seam side down on a baking sheet.
