Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces (boneless, skinless) Chicken breast
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.75 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 large Tortillas
- 0.5 cup (softened) Cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh cilantro
- 1 small (seeded and minced) Jalapeño pepper
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 0.5 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
Start by preparing the chicken. Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and slice them into thin strips.
In a small bowl, mix together paprika, ground cumin, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Rub the spice mixture evenly onto the chicken strips.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and slightly golden. Remove from heat and set aside.
In another small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, chopped cilantro, and minced jalapeño pepper until well combined.
Spread an even layer of the cream cheese mixture onto each tortilla.
Place a lettuce leaf on top of the cream cheese layer in each tortilla.
Add a handful of cooked chicken strips onto the lettuce, followed by a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese.
Carefully roll each tortilla tightly and secure with a toothpick, if needed, to hold its shape.
Slice each roll diagonally in half and serve as is or arrange on a platter for a more formal presentation.
