Method
Prepare the Chicken
- 1
Cook the Chicken
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, cumin, and chili powder. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and no longer pink in the center. Remove from heat and let it rest, then shred the chicken using two forks.

Prepare the Sauce
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the flour and cook for about 1 minute, stirring constantly. Gradually whisk in the milk until smooth. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens, about 3-5 minutes. Reduce heat to low and add the Monterey Jack cheese, cream cheese, and diced jalapeño (if using). Stir until the cheeses are fully melted and the sauce is creamy.

Fill the Tortillas
Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave. On each tortilla, place a portion of the shredded chicken, followed by a generous amount of queso blanco sauce. Top with fresh cilantro, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sour cream, and salsa, as desired.
