  1. Preheat oven to 425°.
  2. In a bowl, mix together the shredded chicken, spices, cream cheese, salsa and shredded cheese.
  3. Fill each tortilla with ¼ cup of the chicken mixture then roll up tightly. Lay each tortilla seam down on a baking sheet and brush each one lightly with oil. *If you find that the tortillas you are using are cracking or breaking, heat tortillas first according to package directions.Usually in a skillet over medium-high heat about 10 - 15 seconds per side until the tortillas become more pliable.
