Ingredients
  

Taco Filling
  • 3 cups cooked chicken shredded rotisserie works well
  • 4 oz cream cheese softened
  • 0.33 cup sour cream
  • 4 oz mild green chiles canned, diced
  • 1 cup corn kernels fresh, frozen, or canned
  • 0.5 cup cannellini beans rinsed and drained
  • 0.25 cup chicken broth low sodium
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 0.5 tsp chili powder
  • 0.5 tsp garlic powder
Assembly
  • 12 corn tortillas
  • 2 cups Monterey Jack cheese shredded
  • 2 tbsp olive oil for brushing
  • 1 bunch fresh cilantro chopped, for garnish
  • 2 limes cut into wedges

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Skillet (optional)
  • Cheese Grater

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a large baking sheet with cooking spray or oil.
  2. In a large bowl, mix softened cream cheese, sour cream, chicken broth, cumin, chili powder, and garlic powder until smooth.
  3. Fold in shredded chicken, green chiles, corn, and beans until evenly coated.
  4. Wrap tortillas in damp paper towels and microwave for 45 seconds to soften. This prevents cracking.
  5. Spoon filling into each tortilla, add a pinch of cheese inside, and fold over.
  6. Arrange tacos on the baking sheet. Brush tops with olive oil and sprinkle generously with remaining Monterey Jack cheese.
  7. Bake for 12-15 minutes until cheese is bubbly and tortillas are golden and crispy.
  8. Serve hot, garnished with fresh chopped cilantro and lime wedges.
