Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked and shredded chicken breast

1 cup cream cheese, softened

1 cup green chilies (canned or roasted)

1 tablespoon lime juice

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon cumin

1 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper to taste

4 large flour tortillas or wraps

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Fresh cilantro leaves for garnish (optional)

1 avocado, sliced (optional for serving)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, green chilies, lime juice, garlic powder, cumin, onion powder, and season with salt and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated and a creamy filling is formed.

    Assemble the Rolls: Lay one flour tortilla or wrap on a flat surface. Spread a generous portion (about 1/2 cup) of the chicken mixture evenly across the tortilla, leaving about 1 inch of space at the edges.

      Add Cheese: Sprinkle about 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the chicken mixture.

        Roll It Up: Starting from one edge, carefully roll the tortilla tightly but gently, ensuring the filling stays in place. Tuck in the sides as you roll to secure the filling. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and filling.

          Slice for Lunchboxes: Once all rolls are prepared, use a sharp knife to slice each roll into bite-sized pieces (about 1-2 inches thick).

            Garnish: If desired, garnish with fresh cilantro leaves for an added touch of flavor.

              Serve: Pack the rolls into lunchboxes. Add sliced avocado on the side for a refreshing contrast if desired.
