Ingredients
- 2 pieces (boneless, skinless) Chicken breast
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.75 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 large Tortillas
- 0.5 cup (softened) Cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh cilantro
- 1 small (seeded and minced) Jalapeño pepper

Directions
Step 1
Start by preparing the chicken. Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and slice them into thin strips.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix together paprika, ground cumin, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
Rub the spice mixture evenly onto the chicken strips.
Step 4
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and slightly golden. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 5
In another small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, chopped cilantro, and minced jalapeño pepper until well combined.
Step 6
Spread an even layer of the cream cheese mixture onto each tortilla.
Step 7
Place a lettuce leaf on top of the cream cheese layer in each tortilla.
Step 8
Add a handful of cooked chicken strips onto the lettuce, followed by a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese.
Step 9
Carefully roll each tortilla tightly and secure with a toothpick, if needed, to hold its shape.
Step 10
Slice each roll diagonally in half and serve as is or arrange on a platter for a more formal presentation.
