Ingredients
  

1 lb chicken breast, diced

1 cup cream cheese, softened

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 cup diced jalapeños (fresh or pickled)

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp onion powder

1/2 tsp smoked paprika

Salt and pepper, to taste

8 small corn or flour tortillas

Fresh cilantro, for garnish

Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: Season the diced chicken with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the chicken until fully cooked and golden brown, about 7-10 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

    Make Jalapeño Popper Mixture: In a bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, cheddar cheese, and diced jalapeños. Mix well until fully incorporated.

      Combine Chicken and Cheese Mixture: Add the cooked chicken to the cheese mixture, stirring until the chicken is evenly coated with the creamy filling.

        Assemble the Tacos: Warm the tortillas in a skillet or microwave. Spoon a generous amount of the jalapeño popper chicken mixture onto each tortilla.

          Garnish and Serve: Top the tacos with freshly chopped cilantro. Serve with lime wedges for an extra burst of flavor.
