Shred the chicken with a fork and mix in with the cooked vegetables

To each tortilla, add 1/2 teaspoon of the chicken mixture and 1/4 tablespoon of cheese, and then roll tightly
-
Put a toothpick through the center of each tortilla to hold it closed, and place on the baking pan

Repeat with remaining tortillas and mixture

When finished, brush each tortialla with a little corn oil, and place the pan in the oven for 3-5 minutes
