Preparation of Chicken
- 1
Cook the Chicken
In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the boneless, skinless chicken breasts and season them with ground cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and no longer pink in the center.

Prepare the Tortilla
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to low. Place one tortilla on the skillet. On one half of the tortilla, add a layer of shredded cheddar cheese (1/2 cup), followed by 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese, and then a portion of the shredded chicken. If desired, sprinkle some fresh cilantro on top.

Fold and Cook
Fold the tortilla in half over the filling and press down gently. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese has melted.
