Ryan Beck

Ingredients

• 2 cups shredded chicken
• 4 oz cream cheese, at room temperature
• ¼ cup sour cream
• 4 oz mild green chiles
• 1 cup shredded pepper jack cheese
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• ½ teaspoon paprika
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon sea salt
• 16 corn tortillas

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Add the chicken, cream cheese, sour cream, green chiles, cheese and spices to a large bowl, mixing to combine.
3. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium high heat and cook the tortillas for about 15-30 seconds on each side until soft and pliable. Remove and transfer to a plate, covering with foil to keep warm.
4. Add about 2 tablespoon worth of filling in a long line like a cigar to a tortilla. Roll tightly and place on the baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
5. Spray the tortillas with some cooking spray. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until they are crispy.

Notes
Notes
• Heat corn tortillas in small skillet for 20 seconds per side so they are pliable. If you skip this step, the tortillas will break apart is you roll them up.
• Don’t use pre-shredded cheese. It doesn’t taste as good and also has addition ingredients that you don’t need. Just buy blocks of cheese and grate yourself.
• Use about 2–3 tablespoons of filling per tortilla. Overfilling can cause the tacos to burst open while frying or baking.
•Place the tacos seem-side down so they stay rolled up. You can also toothpicks to the center.
• Spray the tacos with cooking spray or brush with oil to help them get crispy.
