Step 1

Heat oven to 375 degrees. Melt butter over medium heat; add chicken, oregano, salt, and pepper. Cook until golden, 3 – 5 minutes. Remove chicken from skillet.

Pour oil into the skillet until ¼ inch. Cook the tortilla until crisp, about 1 minute. Remove tortilla from skillet and drain on paper towel. Repeat to cook remaining tortillas.
