In a large mixing bowl, combine smoked chicken, diced green chiles, shredded cheddar cheese, cooked white rice, sour cream, salsa, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until evenly incorporated.

Place the flour tortillas on a microwave-safe plate and warm for approximately 20 seconds to increase pliability for rolling.
03 -
Evenly distribute the chicken mixture along the center of each warmed tortilla.

Fold in the sides of each tortilla, then roll from bottom to top tightly to enclose the filling completely.
