4. Spread 5 slices of grilled chicken over the tomatoes and fold in half, lightly spray a Panini press with non-stick spray and press for 1 ½ minutes or until the tortilla is crisp.
   
5. Repeat for the remaining 7 tortillas. Serve 2 tacos per person and enjoy.
   
6. Hints: 1. Grilled sliced steak could be used in place of the chicken in this recipe. 2. Add dashes of chipotle hot sauce for a bit of spice.
