Add in chicken and tomato; cook 3 min, stirring often. Stir in chopped cilantro, salt, and grnd pepper. Place about 1/2 c. chicken mix on half of each tortilla. Sprinkle cheese proportionately over turkey mix on tortillas; fold tortillas in half. Coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray; place over medium-high heat till warm.
