Description

A delightful fusion of crispy tortillas filled with juicy chicken, gooey cheese, and a touch of hot honey, paired with a spicy jalapeño cream sauce.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 flour tortillas
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Monterey Jack)
  • 1/4 cup hot honey
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 jalapeño, diced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat for one minute.
  2. On one half of each tortilla, layer the shredded chicken and drizzle the hot honey.
  3. Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the chicken layer.
  4. Fold the tortilla in half and cook in the skillet for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and the cheese is melted.
  5. In a mixing bowl, stir together the sour cream and diced jalapeño to create the spicy cream sauce.

Notes

Make sure to preheat the skillet for the best texture and flavor. You can prepare the chicken and sauce ahead of time for quick assembly.
