Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, combine the cooked chicken, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, salsa, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, and salt and pepper. Mix until creamy.
  3. Take a tortilla and place 2–3 tablespoons of filling along one edge. Roll tightly, placing seam-side down on the baking sheet.
