Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Non-stick griddle
  • oven

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken I use rotisserie
  • 6 ounces cream cheese softened
  • ¼ cup salsa your favorite kind
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup baby spinach leaves chopped
  • ¼ teaspoon cumin
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon chili powder
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper for taste
  • 15-20 corn or flour tortillas

Instructions
 

  • Add cream cheese, salsa and sour cream to a mixing bowl and stir until smooth. Add remaining ingredients (except the tortillas) and toss to combine. Taste and add more seasoning, if needed.
  • For corn tortillas, heat a non-stick griddle over medium high heat. Cook tortillas for about 15 - 30 seconds on each side until soft and pliable. Remove tortillas to a plate covered with tinfoil to keep them warm and pliable.
  • Place a large spoonful of filling in a line along each tortilla and roll tightly. Secure with a toothpick if needed.
  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Spray the tops of the tacos with cooking spray, or brush them lightly with oil. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the shells are crispy.

Notes

Serve with guacamole, sour cream, salsa, and hot sauce.
