Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked and shredded chicken breast

1 cup cream cheese, softened

1 cup green chilies (canned or roasted, chopped)

1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and black pepper, to taste

4 large flour tortillas or wraps

1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish (optional)

1 avocado, sliced (optional for serving)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, add the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, chopped green chilies, lime juice, garlic powder, cumin, onion powder, and season generously with salt and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are fully combined and form a creamy filling.

    Assemble the Rolls: Take a flour tortilla or wrap and lay it flat on a clean surface. Spread approximately 1/2 cup of the chicken mixture evenly over the tortilla, making sure to leave about 1 inch of space from the edges for easy rolling.

      Add Cheese: Evenly sprinkle about 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the chicken mixture, ensuring a good distribution for melty flavor in every bite.

        Roll It Up: Starting from one side, carefully roll the tortilla tightly yet gently, making sure to keep the filling securely inside. As you roll, tuck in the sides to seal the filling neatly. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and filling.

          Slice for Lunchboxes: After all the rolls are prepared, use a sharp knife to slice each roll into bite-sized pieces, ideally around 1 to 2 inches in thickness for easy eating.

            Garnish: If desired, add a sprinkle of fresh cilantro leaves on top for an inviting burst of color and flavor.

              Serve: Pack the delicious rolls into lunchboxes for a perfect meal. Optionally, place sliced avocado alongside the rolls for a creamy and refreshing contrast.
