Ingredients

  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • 8 small flour or corn tortillas
  • Chopped green onions (optional)
  • Diced tomatoes (optional)
  • Shredded lettuce (optional)
  • Sour cream (optional)
  • Sliced jalapeños (optional)
  • Fresh cilantro (optional)
  • Extra shredded cheddar cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Season the chicken breasts with onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Cook the chicken for 5 to 6 minutes per side until fully cooked and golden brown. The internal temperature should reach 165°F.
  4. Remove the chicken from the skillet and shred it using two forks.
  5. Return the shredded chicken to the skillet and reduce the heat to low.
  6. Add the softened cream cheese and chicken broth. Stir until the cream cheese melts and coats the chicken evenly.
  7. Mix in the shredded cheddar cheese and continue stirring until smooth and creamy.
  8. Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until soft and flexible.
  9. Spoon the creamy chicken mixture into each tortilla.
  10. Add desired toppings and serve immediately while warm.

Notes

  • Rotisserie chicken can be used for a quicker preparation.
  • Add jalapeños or hot sauce for a spicier version.
  • Chicken thighs create a juicier and more tender filling.
  • Serve in lettuce wraps for a lower-carb option.
  • Black beans or corn can be added for extra texture and flavor.
  • Store tortillas separately to prevent sogginess.
  • The filling reheats well and is excellent for meal prep.
