Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425°F.
Combine the chicken, honey, lime juice, chipotle powder, cilantro and 4 oz green chilis in a large bowl.
Combine the cream cheese and remaining 4 oz green chilis in a separate small bowl.
Spread app. 1 tbsp of the cream cheese mixture 1" from the edge of a tortilla.
Top with the chicken mixture.
Sprinkle pepper jack cheese on top of the chicken.
Roll the tortilla up tightly and place seam side down on a baking sheet.
Repeat until all tacos are wrapped up.
Spray the tops of the rolled tacos with olive oil cooking spray or brush lightly with olive oil.
Place in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes.

Notes

Gluten Free: to make these rolled tacos gluten free, I recommend using a gluten free soft taco tortilla (such as Mission). Corn tortillas can also be used, but will need to be warmed first and will potentially break and tear while tightly wrapping up the filling.
