Melt butter in pan over medium heat and add the onion and garlic. Saute for about 3 minutes until soft. Add green chiles and cream cheese, and stir until soft, well blended and creamy, about 5-7 minutes.
Remove from heat and mix in chicken until well coated.
Place mixture close to the edge of the tortillas, filling each with 3 tablespoons (or small cookie scoops) of chicken filling, 1 tablespoon of cheddar cheese and two tablespoons Mexican cheese. Roll the tortilla over to cover the filling, fold the sides in and continue rolling.
Put the tortillas into the prepared baking dish, seam side down. Cover with remaining Mexican shredded cheese and salsa verde. the top with queso fresco.
