Crispy, cheesy, and loaded with smoky spiced chicken, these little folded tortillas are the kind of crowd-pleaser that disappears off the platter before you even sit down. The key to keeping them naturally wheat-free is the foundation: small corn tortillas, which crisp up beautifully in a hot skillet and hold their own against a generous fill of melted Mexican cheese blend, tender chicken, and diced green chiles. No specialty swaps or hard-to-find products needed — just straightforward ingredients that happen to work perfectly together. The chicken gets seasoned with cumin, chili powder, and smoked paprika before hitting the pan, so every bite has real depth of flavor. A quick fold and a few minutes per side in a lightly oiled skillet gives you that golden, slightly crunchy exterior with gooey cheese pulling apart in the middle. Serve them with salsa, sour cream, and a little mashed avocado on the side and you've got a full spread that makes four servings feel almost too easy. Whether you're cooking for a weeknight dinner or a casual get-together, this one is genuinely hard to improve on.

In a small bowl, combine the cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss the sliced chicken with the spice mixture until evenly coated.
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large (12-inch) skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the seasoned chicken in a single layer and cook for 4–5 minutes, turning once, until the chicken is opaque throughout with no pink at the center and reaches 165°F (74°C) on an instant-read thermometer. Transfer to a cutting board and chop into small pieces.
