1. 1

   In a bowl, add the chicken pieces, salt, smoked paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, Cajun seasoning, and 1 tbsp oil. Mix well until the chicken is evenly coated.

2. 2

   Heat a pan over medium heat with a little oil. Once hot, add the seasoned chicken and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.

3. 3

   Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.

4. 4

   Add the diced onion, bell peppers, corn, and jalapeño if using. Stir and cook for 3-4 minutes, until the vegetables soften slightly and chicken is cooked through.

5. 5

   Lower the heat and add the cream cheese, lemon juice, and water. Stir until the cream cheese melts and forms a creamy sauce that coats the chicken and veggies. If the mixture seems too thin, simmer for 1-2 minutes until thickened. Taste and adjust salt if needed.

6. 6

   Remove from heat.

7. 7

   Preheat the oven to 400°F.

8. 8

   Lightly brush one side of each tortilla with oil. Flip the tortillas over and spoon the chicken filling onto the un-oiled side. Sprinkle with cheese, then fold or gently press the tortillas closed.

9. 9

   Arrange them on a baking sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the tortillas are crispy and the cheese is melted.
