   Start by gathering all your ingredients to make the cooking process smooth and enjoyable.

   Preheat your oven to a cozy 375°F (190°C) and take a moment to grease a 9x13-inch baking dish, setting the stage for your delicious creation.

3. Step 3

   In a skillet over medium-high heat, pour in 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil.

   Gently fry each tortilla for about 5 seconds on each side until they become soft and pliable.

5. Step 5

   If you notice any sticking, don’t hesitate to add a little more oil.

6. Step 6

   Once they’re perfectly fried, let the tortillas drain on paper towels while keeping them warm and cozy.

7. Step 7

   In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, 10 ounces of Monterey Jack cheese, and minced onion, creating a flavorful filling.

   Roll each tortilla tightly, placing them seam-side down in your prepared baking dish, like little bundles of joy waiting to be baked.
