Spicy and Creamy Jalapeño Popper Chicken Tacos

This recipe features seasoned chicken cooked with jalapeños and cream cheese, all wrapped in warm tortillas. It takes about 30 minutes to prepare and serves 4 people.

Ingredients

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
2 jalapeños, seeded and finely chopped
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
8 small flour or corn tortillas
Chopped cilantro for garnish
Sour cream for serving (optional)
Sliced avocado for serving (optional)

Instructions

Cook the Chicken: In a skillet over medium heat, add the diced chicken. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook until the chicken is no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
Add Jalapeños and Cream Cheese: Stir in the chopped jalapeños and cream cheese. Cook until the cream cheese is melted and everything is well combined, about 2-3 minutes.
Add Cheddar Cheese: Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted.
Warm the Tortillas: In a separate skillet, warm the tortillas over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.
Assemble the Tacos: Spoon the jalapeño popper chicken mixture onto each tortilla. Top with chopped cilantro, and add sour cream and sliced avocado if desired.
Serve: Enjoy the tacos warm, garnished with additional toppings as desired.
