Ingredients 

1 (3-1/2 pounds) Gold'n Plump® Deli Rotisserie Chicken, meat removed and coarsely chopped (about 2 cups)
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1 can (4 ounces) diced green chilies
1 can (2-1/2 ounces) sliced ripe olives, drained
1½ cups (6 ounces) shredded Mexican blend cheese
1 jar (24 ounces) chunky tomato salsa
8 (7 to 8-inch) flour tortillas
1/4 cup finely chopped cilantro

Instructions 

Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly coat a 13x9-inch baking pan with cooking spray.

Combine chicken, onion, chilies, olives, 1/2 cup of the cheese, and 1/2 cup of the salsa in a large bowl; stir just until blended.

Stack tortillas and place them between 2 damp heavy weight paper towels. Microwave on high for 1 to 1-1/2 minutes until warm and pliable. (To heat in the oven, wrap them in aluminum foil and place in a preheated 350°F oven for about 10 minutes.)

Spoon about 1/2 cup of chicken mixture into the center of each tortilla and roll up; place in the baking pan. Spoon remaining salsa over the filled tortillas. Cover with aluminum foil.

Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until heated through; remove from the oven. Uncover and sprinkle with remaining 1 cup cheese. Bake, uncovered, for 5 more minutes or until cheese is melted. Sprinkle with cilantro.
