Place oil in pan with chicken and cook for around 3 minutes until browned. When chicken is done place 1/2 cup sauce with chicken. Spread a 1/2 cup sauce in bottom of a 9x13 baking dish.  Place mixture in tortillas evenly and roll and place in dish. When all are rolled pour remaining sauce on top and add cheese and bake 40 minutes. You can make my salsa and mexican rice to enjoy with these. Or even some black beans..

Baked Flounder Fillets...

I love flounder, and have just recently started experimenting with making it myself. So far this is the best way I have found to make this without frying it.

cooking spray
2 lbs. flounder fillets rinsed and patted dry
1/4 teas. salt
3 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
1/4 cup butter melted
3 tablespoon mayo
2 teas. chive and tarragon seasoning

Place fish in a 9x13 baking dish sprayed with cooking spray.  Season both sides of flounder fillets with salt and place in baking dish, and brush 1 tablespoon of lemon juice on flounder. Mix parmesan cheese, melted butter, mayo and the other 2 tablespoons lemon juice in a bowl and spoon over fish. Bake flounder in preheated over at 375 for 10 minutes then switch oven to broil and brown fillets for 3 to 5 minutes only.  Make you some cole slaw and potato fries ( my recipes :)) and some hushpuppies and dig in...
