  • Total Time: 0 hours
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon hot sauce
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 12 jalapeños, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • salt to taste

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine shredded chicken with honey, hot sauce, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir well until uniformly combined.
  2. Create the jalapeño cream sauce by mixing mayonnaise, sour cream, chopped jalapeños, lime juice, garlic powder, and salt. Stir until smooth and allow to rest for flavor infusion.
  3. Heat a skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with olive oil or butter. Place a tortilla in the pan and cover half with mozzarella and cheddar cheese. Add the hot honey chicken mixture, then top with more cheese before folding.
  4. Cook until the bottom is golden and crisp, then flip to cook the other side until the cheese is melted and the tortilla is golden.
  5. Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas. Slice into wedges and serve warm with jalapeño cream sauce.
