1

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil, then mist with cooking spray.
2

Prep your ingredients. You will need about 3 cups of shredded cooked chicken (use a rotisserie chicken to make it easy).
3

In a small bowl, stir together shredded chicken and salsa until combined. Set aside.
4

Lay tortillas on a flat work surface. Place about 1/2 cup shredded chicken in a line down the center of each tortilla.
5

Add a few pieces of diced avocado. Then sprinkle with your desired amount of cheese and fresh cilantro and a sprinkle of lime juice.
6

Roll the tortillas up tightly, and place seam-side down on the baking sheet. Mist the tortillas with cooking spray or olive oil.
7

Bake for 20 minutes or until the cheese is melted and tortillas are lightly toasted. Serve immediately with salsa for dipping.
