Add 1/3 can of the drained Rotel Tomatoes, 1/4 cup shredded Colby jack cheese, a spoonful of the green Chile peppers, a pinch of chili powder, a pinch of cumin and salt to taste.

Spread about 2 Tbsp of the bean mixture down the center of each tortilla, leaving about 2 inch border. Divide chicken mixture into 4 equal parts and add to each tortilla. Top with 1/4 cup of shredded cheese. Fold top and bottom pieces in (the short edges) and then fold in the sides. Place seam side down on the baking sheet; brush with oil mixture.
