Before You Start

Shred the cooked chicken, slice the mushrooms, and lay out the tortillas, cheddar, and salsa so you can build fast while everything is hot.

How To Make It
  1. Warm a dry skillet over medium, about 1 minute, until a drop of water skitters and sizzles.
  2. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring, 5 to 6 minutes, until they release their liquid and brown at the edges, then add the spinach and cook 1 to 2 minutes more, until it wilts down, and set the vegetables aside.
  3. Add the shredded chicken to the pan and warm it through, stirring, 3 to 4 minutes, until steaming and it reaches 165°F in the center with no cold spots.
    165°F
  4. Warm the tortillas in the same pan, about 20 seconds a side, until soft and pliable so they fold without cracking.
  5. Fill each tortilla with the chicken, the cooked spinach and mushrooms, and the cheddar while everything is hot so the cheese softens.
  6. Top with the salsa, fold, and serve.
Fix It: If the tortillas crack when you fold them they are too cold; ten more seconds in the warm pan makes them bend instead of break.
Microwave
  1. Add the ingredients you would cook together to a microwave safe bowl along with their liquid.
  2. Cover loosely and microwave in one minute bursts, stirring between each, until hot through.
  3. Let it stand for a minute, then finish and plate the dish as written in the steps above.
