Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
  • 4 oz cream cheese
  • ½ cup shredded Mexican blend or cheddar cheese
  • 1 (4 oz) can diced green chiles, drained
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp ground cumin
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 10 (6-inch) corn tortillas
  • Cooking spray or neutral oil, for brushing

Method
 

  1. Stir together the chicken, cream cheese, shredded cheese, green chiles, and spices until evenly mixed.
  2. Wrap tortillas in damp paper towels and microwave 30 to 45 seconds until pliable. Spoon about 2 tablespoons filling onto each tortilla and spread into a thin log.
  3. Preheat oven to 425°F (200°C). Roll tortillas tightly and place seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Spritz or brush tops lightly with oil.
  4. Bake 15 to 18 minutes until golden and crisp. Let cool 1 minute, then serve hot with your favorite toppings.

Notes

A squeeze of fresh lime and a pinch of cilantro right before eating brighten the whole dish. If your tortillas crack while rolling, give them another 10 seconds in the microwave with the damp paper towel.
