Ingredients

  • 1 package (8oz.) Challenge Cream Cheese
  • 2 cups chicken, cooked and diced to ⅜-inch
  • ½ teaspoon garlic salt
  • 2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
  • ½ teaspoon bottled hot sauce (optional)
  • 16 small flour tortillas (5-inch)
  • 3 Tablespoons Challenge Spreadable Butter

Directions

  • 1
    Blend together cream cheese, garlic salt and lime juice in a bowl or blender. Stir in chicken until pieces are evenly distributed in mixture.
  • 2
    Preheat oven to 250°F.
  • 3
    Spread butter on one side of each tortilla (about ½ teaspoon). Place tortillas, one at a time, butter-side down in large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
  • 4
    Add about 2 to 3 Tablespoons cream cheese/chicken mixture on half of each tortilla. Fold tortillas in half over filling, so buttered side is out.
  • 5
    Grill folded tortillas until golden – about 1 minute per side. Work in batches and transfer cooked tortillas to a baking pan in preheated oven.
  • 6
    Use a pizza wheel to cut each folded tortilla into halves.
