Ingredients

8 ounces 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.
