Instructions:
- Wash and clean the chicken neatly. Cut it into pieces and season with pepper and salt.

(Prior to the day of cooking it, you can keep the chicken shreds ready, or few hours before you start preparing). It will save the time spent, in one go.
- Set the oven at 200 degrees F.
- Take the tortillas and wrap them in paper towels. Place them in the microwave oven and warm for a while. Take care not to keep them inside for more than 2-3 minutes.
- Remove them one by one gently.
- Spread the shredded chicken across each tortilla pieces, until the meat is evenly layered on the half portion of the tortilla. The other half of the tortilla will overlap while folding it.
- Add ½ cup of shredded jack cheese per tortilla, and cover the cheese along the border of the spread chicken shreds.
- Drizzle 1 sprig of cilantro over each tortilla. Fold the other half of the tortilla over the stuffing.
- Heat a griddle or skillet and place the folded tortilla onto it. Allow it to cook and the cheese to melt. Turn the piece with a ladle or spatula, as convenient, and continue to cook for some more time. The roasting should be even, leaving either side evenly brown.
- Once the cheese is completely melted, remove them from the top of the stove, and place them on a cookie-sheet covered with an aluminum foil. Place the cookie-sheet in the oven to retain its warmth.
- Making of all the tortillas should follow the same procedure.
- Once all the tortillas are done and grilled, cut them into 4-5 wedges and dish out on a serving-plate.
- Top each tortilla wedge with salsa or sour cream.
