Cook chicken 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes before cutting it into 1/2\" strips.
Lightly brush tortillas with vegetable oil.
If using grill, grill on each side until they turn slightly brown, about 1 minute.

If using broiler put cheese on tortilla just until cheese melts.
