For the chicken mixture

2 cups cooked shredded chicken juicy and tender
2 tablespoons honey adding a natural sweetness
2 pieces chipotle peppers in adobo, minced providing a smoky heat
1 teaspoon garlic powder for an aromatic note
1 teaspoon onion powder enhancing the savory flavor

For assembly

1.5 cups shredded Monterey Jack or mozzarella cheese rich and creamy
8 small corn tortillas offering a delicate crunch
2 tablespoons olive oil for frying to golden perfection
0.25 cups chopped fresh cilantro adding a fresh pop

Preparation

In a bowl, mix the shredded chicken with honey, minced chipotle peppers, garlic powder, and onion powder until well combined.

Cooking

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Place the corn tortillas in the skillet one at a time. Cook for about 1 minute on each side until golden and crispy.
Remove the tortillas from the skillet and add a portion of the chicken mixture to each tortilla.
