Preheat oven to 450 degrees and very lightly coat baking dish with nonstick spray
In 2 separate bowls mix taco meat and chicken with 3-4 tablespoons of red or green salsa
Place mixture and a sprinkle of cheese near one end of the tortilla and roll tightly
Lay seam side down baking dish
Lightly brush vegetable oil over the top of each roll
Bake 8-10 minutes until golden brown
Place on paper towel lined plate if a little draining is needed
Serve with desired toppings and devour!

Roll the tortillas as tightly as possible and place them seam side down in the baking dish right away. This keeps them from unrolling while they bake.
Do not skip the vegetable oil brushed on top. It is what gives the outside its crispy, golden texture without needing to fry them.
If your baked rolled tacos come out of the oven a little greasy, place them on a paper towel for a minute before serving. It makes a difference.
Warm your flour tortillas for about 15 seconds in the microwave before rolling if they feel stiff. This makes them easier to handle and less likely to tear.
Fill each tortilla with a reasonable amount of filling, not too much. Overfilling makes rolling harder and can cause them to burst open during baking.
Keep an eye on them from around the 8-minute mark. Ovens vary, and you want golden brown rather than dark.
Prep your toppings while the tacos bake so everything is ready to go the moment they come out of the oven.
