Add another layer of tortillas, then the chicken breast, cheese and cilantro and place this into the oven for 25 - 30 minutes or until the cheese is melted and lightly browned. Remove from the oven and let sit for 5 minutes. Enjoy!

Note: You could add black beans or beef instead of the chicken and use whatever cheese is your favorite. If you do not like cilantro just leave it out.

I like to serve this with a side of rice or refried beans.
