Ingredients

1 10-inch flour tortilla
1 rotisserie chicken
1/2 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro leaves
optional 1/3 cup drained jarred pickled jalapeños
2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
salt and pepper
2 large eggs
1 cup whole milk
3/4 cup all-purpose flour

Steps

Heat the oven to 375°F and place the tortilla in a greased 9-inch pie dish.
Remove the rotisserie chicken from the bones, tear it into small pieces, and mix it with the cilantro, jalapeños, salt, and pepper.
Layer half the chicken mixture and half the cheddar over the tortilla, then repeat with the remaining chicken and cheese.
Whisk the eggs, milk, flour, and baking powder in a bowl until smooth, then pour the batter over the filling.
Bake for 28 to 30 minutes, until the center is set, the eggs are firm, and the top is lightly browned.
Check that the thickest part of the poultry reaches 165 F before serving.
Rest the pie for 5 minutes before cutting.
