Season Chicken: In a bowl, mix ground chicken with chili powder, cumin, garlic, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Form & Smash: Divide chicken into 4 balls. Place one ball on each tortilla and press flat to cover the tortilla evenly.
Cook: Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat with a little oil. Place the chicken-side down and cook 4–5 minutes until browned and cooked through. Flip and cook the tortilla side until crisp.
Top & Fold: Add cheese and toppings on half of each tortilla. Fold over and press gently. Cook 1–2 more minutes to melt cheese.
Serve: Slice in half or serve whole with extra toppings or dipping sauce.
