  2. Lightly coat one side of each flatbread with cooking spray.

  4. On one half of each flatbread, evenly divide the shredded cheese, cooked chicken, salsa, and fresh cilantro.
  5. Top the fillings with the remaining shredded cheese.
  6. Fold the empty half of the flatbread over the fillings to close the sandwich.
  7. If using a skillet, place the sandwiches on the hot surface and weigh them down with a spatula or smaller pan.
  8. Cover and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown and crispy.
  9. Carefully flip the sandwiches and weigh down again.
  10. Cook for another 2 to 3 minutes until the second side is toasted and the cheese inside is fully melted.
