- Start by adding all filling ingredients into a large bowl. Mix together with a stiff spatula or spoon.
- Place a cast iron skillet or nonstick skillet on a medium heat burner. Spray with avocado oil or olive oil to prevent sticking.
- To prepare the tortillas, warm up two at a time on a damp paper towel in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds.
- Fill each warm tortilla with a large spoonful the chicken filling. Tightly roll the tortilla up so the filling does not spill out the side.
- Repeat the process until all tortillas are cooking on the skillet. Flip after about 5 minutes or when they're golden brown. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes or until both sides are golden brown.
- Serve over a bed of fresh romaine lettuce with guacamole and salsa.
