Lightly oil a rectangular glass baking dish and pour 1/2 cup of salsa into the bottom of the dish. Fill each tortilla with chicken mixture and roll into a tubular shape. Place seamside down into baking dish. Top with remaining salsa and cheese. Cover dish tightly with foil and bake for approximately 35-40 minutes or until bubbling and center is warm.
