  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder

Instructions

  1. Combine the cooked shredded chicken, shredded cheddar cheese, softened cream cheese, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl.
  2. Take a small flour tortilla and place about 2-3 tablespoons of the chicken mixture in the center, then roll tightly.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven for about 10-15 minutes to regain crispiness.
