Tasty, easy meal, made it with grilled chicken. Might try more spices on chicken and the cream cheese thing with salsa, next time.

Super quick and easy. Picky husband even liked :) Definately a keeper but next time I will experiment with spices for the chicken and will try cream cheese instead of mayo for the sauce.

This is pretty good, though it would have been easier to assemble everything in the tortilla without first putting the tortillas in the oven for the cheese to melt (they were very hot!). This would be a great snack.
