Ingredients

  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • adobo seasoning to taste
  • 12 (10 inch) flour tortillas
  • 1 ½ cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 (6 ounce) can sliced black olives, drained
  • 1 (7 ounce) can diced green chilies, drained

Directions

Step 1
Place the chicken on a plate, and sprinkle with adobo seasoning on both sides. Let it marinate for 15 minutes.

Step 2
Heat grill for medium-high heat.

Step 3
Lightly oil the grill grate. Place chicken on grill, and cook for 10 minutes per side, or until juices run clear. Remove chicken from grill, and cut into bite-size pieces.

Step 4
