As a suggestion – When using chicken breasts in another recipe, like with this Instant Pot Chicken Chipotle Mac and Cheese, cut out the tenders to save for this recipe.
Set rack to center of oven. Turn broil on to high.
Next, add 1 tablespoon of butter to a large nonstick skillet over medium high heat. When butter has melted add chicken tenders to skillet.
When chicken is half done add bacon. Cook both meats until cooked. Remove from heat and set meat aside on a large plate.
In the same skillet add 1 tablespoon olive oil. When heated, add onions, peppers and squash. Sauté until vegetables are little charred, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and season with salt and pepper.
Chop chicken and bacon into bite size pieces. Add meat and cheese to skillet and stir in until combined.
Add aluminum foil to a rimmed baking sheet. Lightly brush one side of tortillas with olive oil. Transfer oiled side down onto aluminum lined baking sheet.
Next, divided vegetable-meat mixture among tortillas and fold over. Place baking sheet under broil 2-3 minutes each side. Watch closely as broilers vary.
