Wrap the tortillas in foil.

Heat in a 350 degree oven for 10 to 15 minutes or until softened (if using a microwave, wrap the tortillas in a microwave-safe paper towel and micro-cook on high for 30 to 60 seconds until softened).

Meanwhile, spray a 9 x 13 baking dish with non-stick coating.

NOTE: Usually I don't have chicken prepared in advance, so I use 4 chicken breast halves and sprinkle them with salt, pepper, and cumin.

I either saute these or grill them until no longer pink.
