Ingredients
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 medium garlic clove, minced
- 1½ tablespoons canola or vegetable oil
- 2 cups chopped cooked chicken
- One and a half 10 ounce cans ROTEL Diced Tomatoes and Green Chiles
- ¼ teaspoon salt

- 3 ounces crumbled feta or goat cheese

- 1 cup (4 ounces) shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 1 cup (4 ounces) shredded Cheddar cheese

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Sauté onion and garlic in hot oil in a Dutch oven over medium high heat until tender. Stir in chicken, Rotel, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in cilantro and feta cheese.
- Spoon about ¼ cup chicken mixture down center of each tortilla; roll up tortillas, and place, seam-side-down, in lightly greased 13x9 inch baking dish.
