Brush the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over one side of each flour tortilla. Place half of the tortillas, oiled side down, on two baking sheets. Sprinkle each with 1/2 cup of shredded Monterey Jack cheese, then top with the chicken and vegetable mixture, dividing it evenly. Top with the remaining tortillas, oiled side up.
