Ingredients


2 cup shredded Chicken breast, boneless, skinless, grilled
3/4 cup Greek yogurt, plain, 2% M.F.
3/4 cup Cottage cheese (2% M.F.)
1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend (or alternate cheese of choice)
1/2 cup Plum tomatoes (finely diced)
1/2 cup chopped Green bell pepper (finely)
1 1/2 tsp Garlic (finely minced)
3 stalk(s) Green onion (finely sliced)
3/4 cup Cilantro (coriander) (optional, finely chopped)
2 tsp Chili powder
1 1/2 tsp Cumin
1/2 tsp Paprika, smoked
1/2 tsp Red pepper flakes (optional)
1/2 tsp Sea Salt
1/2 tsp Garlic powder
1/2 tsp Onion powder
1/2 tsp Oregano, dried
1/2 tsp Black pepper
5 medium tortilla(s) Whole wheat tortilla

Instructions


Step 1: Combine the shredded chicken, Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, Mexican cheese blend, plum tomatoes, green pepper, garlic, green onion, cilantro (optional) in a large mixing bowl, stirring until well combined.

Step 2: In a small bowl, add the chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, red pepper flakes (optional), sea salt, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, and black pepper and stir to combine. 

Step 3: Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the contents in the large mixing bowl and stir until well combined.  

Step 4: Lay flour tortilla down on work surface and spread about 1/2 cup of the chicken taco mixture evenly over the tortilla, leaving a 1/2 - 1 inch border all around.

Step 5: Start at the bottom of the tortilla (closest to you), and roll up tightly towards the top, like a cigar.  Place roll seam side down on cutting board and use a sharp, serrated knife to slice roll into 8 pinwheels.

Step 6: Repeat steps 4 and 5 with the remaining tortillas. 

Step 7: Serve cold or warm in skillet on stove-top over low-medium heat, if preferred.
