Directions

1In a bowl, add the chicken pieces, salt, smoked paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, Cajun seasoning, and 1 tbsp oil. Mix well until the chicken is evenly coated.
2Heat a pan over medium heat with a little oil.
3Once hot, add the seasoned chicken and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4Add the minced garlic and cook for 1–2 minutes, until fragrant.
5Add the diced onion, bell peppers, corn, and jalapeño (if using). Stir and cook for 3–4 minutes, until the vegetables soften slightly and chicken is cooked through.
6Lower the heat and add the cream cheese, lemon juice, and water.
7Stir until the cream cheese melts and forms a creamy sauce that coats the chicken and veggies.
8If the mixture seems too thin, simmer for 1–2 minutes until thickened.
9Taste and adjust salt if needed.
10Remove from heat.
11Preheat the oven to 400°F.
12Lightly brush one side of each tortilla with oil.
13Flip the tortillas over and spoon the chicken filling onto the un-oiled side.
14Sprinkle with cheese, then fold or gently press the tortillas closed.
15Arrange them on a baking sheet and bake for 10–15 minutes, or until the tortillas are crispy and the cheese is melted.
