- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste

For the Creamy Cheese Sauce:
- 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp garlic powder

Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken Filling:
- In a large bowl, mix the shredded chicken, cheese, cream cheese, green onions, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Assemble the Tortillas:
- Lay a tortilla flat and place a generous amount of the chicken filling in the center. Roll the tortilla tightly, tucking in the ends. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.

- In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for about 1 minute until bubbly.
- Gradually add the heavy cream and milk, whisking constantly until the mixture thickens.
- Stir in the shredded cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Continue to stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
- Combine and Bake:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Place the rolled tortillas seam-side down in a greased baking dish. Pour the creamy cheese sauce over the top, ensuring all tortillas are covered.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until heated through and bubbly.
- Serve:
- Let cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with additional green onions or fresh herbs if desired.
