Large tortillas are placed on the bottom of a sheet pan with the edges hanging over the pan. Then cooked chicken is mixed with sour cream, beans, shredded cheese, taco seasoning, lime juice and canned tomatoes. Next the chicken mixture is spread on top of the tortillas, then edges of tortillas are folded on top of the chicken to cover it. A sheet is placed on top and pressed on top then baked. The top sheet pan is removed halfway through so the tortillas get crispy.
