Ingredients

• chicken, cut into small pieces
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon chicken seasoning (optional)
• 2 large flour tortillas
• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 small onion, thinly sliced
• 1 medium tomato, thinly sliced
• Burger sauce or your favorite sauce
• 1 egg yolk
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Instructions

• Step 1: Cook the Chicken

  Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces and season with paprika, salt, black pepper, and chicken seasoning if using. Cook for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and lightly golden.

  Step 2: Assemble the Tortilla

  Place one tortilla on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Sprinkle a layer of shredded mozzarella cheese over the tortilla. Add the cooked chicken evenly on top, followed by the sliced onion and tomato. Drizzle with burger sauce or any sauce of your choice, then finish with another generous layer of mozzarella cheese.

  Step 3: Seal the Tortilla

  Place the second tortilla over the filling and gently press the edges. Brush the top with egg yolk and sprinkle evenly with sesame seeds.

  Step 4: Bake

  Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 12–15 minutes, or until the tortilla is lightly golden and the mozzarella cheese has completely melted.

  Step 5: Serve

  Allow the tortilla to cool for 2–3 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with French fries, crispy potato wedges, or a fresh salad, and enjoy the perfect combination of crispy tortilla, juicy chicken, and gooey melted mozzarella cheese.
