Utensils

Small Bowl

Step 1

Insert grill grate in unit and close hood. Select GRILL, set temperature to MAX, and set time to 4 minutes. Select START/STOP to begin preheating.
Step 2

While unit is preheating, spray both sides of the tortillas with cooking spray. Then use a knife tip to poke 5 to 7 small holes in each tortilla (to prevent them from ballooning during cooking).
Step 3

In a small bowl, stir together salsa, sour cream, hot sauce; set aside.
Step 4

When the unit beeps to signify it has preheated, place 1 tortilla on the grill grate. Close hood and grill for 1 minute. After 1 minute, open hood and remove tortilla; set aside. Repeat with remaining 3 tortillas.
Step 5

Evenly spread a grilled tortilla with a third of the chopped chicken, a third of the scallions, a third of the jalapeño peppers, 2/3 cup cheese, and a third of the salsa mixture. Place another tortilla on top.
Step 6

Top that tortilla with a third of the chopped chicken, a third of the scallions, a third of the jalapeño peppers, 2/3 cup cheese, and a third of the salsa mixture. Place another tortilla on top.
Step 7

Repeat step 6. After placing the last tortilla on top, press down gently.
Step 8

Remove grill grate from unit. Select ROAST, set temperature to 350°F, and set time to 23 minutes. Select START/STOP to begin preheating.
Step 9

When the unit beeps to signify it has preheated, place tortilla stack in pot. Then cover it with an aluminum foil tent, pressing down gently to secure foil around stack. Close hood and cook for 20 minutes.
Step 10

After 20 minutes, remove foil. Sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup cheese over the top, close hood, and cook for the remaining 3 minutes.
Step 11

When cooking is complete, remove with a non-metal spatula and transfer to plate, slice slack and serve.
