An instant read thermometer inserted into the center should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Dotdash Meredith Food Studios
  2. Remove from the pot and let sit until cool enough to handle; shred chicken with two forks.
  3. Combine sour cream, condensed soup, and chili powder in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, then turn off the heat and cover to keep warm.
  4. At the same time, melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion; cook and stir until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add shredded chicken, water, 1/2 of the green onions, green chiles, and taco seasoning; simmer for 10 minutes. Stir in lime juice, onion powder, and garlic powder; simmer for 10 more minutes.

  7. Fill each tortilla with 1/5 of the chicken mixture and about 5 tablespoons Cheddar cheese. Dotdash Meredith Food Studios
