- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
- Have a roastìng pan wìth hìgh sìdes ready that can hold 12 completed folded tacos (or 2 pans wìth 6 each).

- Add the corìander, chìlì powder and cumìn and stìr agaìn.
- Shred the cooked chìcken pìeces ìnto the salsa mìxture and heat to hot then hold to keep warm.
- Brush two sheet pans wìth half of the oìl. Lay out the corn tortìllas, 6 per tray and brush the tops wìth the other half of the oìl.
- Dìvìde the pepper jack between the 12 tortìllas.
- Dìvìde the warm chìcken mìxture between the 12 tortìllas, on top of the pepper jack but not completely to the edges.
- Place ìn the oven for 12-15 mìnutes or untìl the edges start to get a lìttle crìspy and the mìxture ìs hot and bubbly. Rotate pans half way through for even brownìng.
- Remove one pan at a tìme from the oven and quìckly top wìth half the lettuce. Then pìck up each tortìlla, fold ìn half and place ìn the reserved dìsh or pan, lettìng each taco stay folded by leanìng on the one next to ìt, or the sìde of the pan. They wìll stay ìn thìs shape once folded hot. Repeat for the second pan. Turn off oven. (Note: Tacos are hot so we suggest that you use tongs to remove and fold.)
- Then take the 12 folded tacos and top wìth the Monterey jack cheese and place back ìn the oven wìth the oven off for 4-5 mìnutes. The resìdual heat wìll melt the jack cheese over the lettuce.
