Two large flour tortillas stuffed full of grilled chicken, melted cheese, crisp bacon, fresh red salsa and a smidgen of chipotle sauce. What a great combo right? Well, this is only what is INSIDE the tortilla. After crisping up the tortilla in a skillet, we now tower on the flavors over the top!
See the inside? Chunks of goodness and such a fun playing field!The topping includes shredded lettuce, a large dollop of sour cream, sprinkle chopped green onions over all then whip out the salsa and crumbled bacon (again); of course we have cilantro floating through inside and out. Take a bite.
You hear the crunch first then a flood of wonderful flavors all with a touch of melted cheese, sour cream and salsa. The small pieces of freshly crispied bacon is hinted in every crunch.
