    Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius). This will take about 10 minutes.

    2

    In a skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and crumble, leaving a bit of grease in the pan.

    3

    In the same skillet, cook the chopped onion over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes until soft. Add the cooked chicken and crumbled bacon, mixing well. Stir in your favorite spices, cook for another 2 minutes, and set aside.

    4

    Warm the tortillas in the microwave for about 20 seconds to make them pliable.

    5

    On each tortilla, spread a spoonful of salsa in the center, followed by a portion of the chicken-bacon mixture and sprinkle with cheese.

    6

    Roll the tortillas tightly and place them seam-side down in a greased baking dish.

    7

    Pour the remaining salsa over the top and sprinkle with any remaining cheese.

    8

    Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes until golden and bubbly.

    9

    Serve warm with a dollop of sour cream on top.
