1 cup mixed color bell pepper, diced

1/2 cup corn boiled

1 yellow onion diced

1 jalapeño chopped and seeded (optional)

1 tbsp lemon juice

4 tbsp cream cheese

1/4 cup water

1 tbsp oil + extra for cooking

Sauce:

1/2 cup mayonnaise

1/2 cup sour cream

1 tbsp smoked paprika

1 tsp garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

1 tsp Cajun seasoning

1 tbsp Lime juice

1 tsp hot sauce

To Assemble

步驟

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

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

Add the minced garlic and cook another 1-2 minutes. Add the diced onion, bell peppers, corn, and jalapeño. Stir and cook another additional 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are softened and chicken is cooked through.

Lower the heat and add the cream cheese, lemon juice and water. Stir until the cream cheese melts and forms a creamy sauce to coat the chicken and veggies. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired. Remove from heat.

Preheat the oven to 400.

Lightly brush one side of each tortilla with oil. Flip them over and spoon chicken filling onto the un-oiled side. Sprinkle with cheese, fold gently into a taco, arrange in a baking sheet and cook for 10-15 minutes or until cheese is melted and tortillas are crispy.
