Yields: 4 servings Prep time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup salsa
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 large flour tortillas or wraps

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the filling: In a medium bowl, combine shredded chicken, cream cheese, mayonnaise, salsa, cilantro, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
  2. Assemble the roll-ups: Lay out flour tortillas on a clean surface. Divide the chicken mixture evenly among the tortillas, spreading it into a thin layer.
  3. Add toppings: If desired, add optional toppings like black olives, tomatoes, lettuce, or cheese on top of the chicken mixture.
  4. Roll it up: Carefully roll up the tortillas tightly, starting from one end and working your way to the other.
  5. Serve: Slice each roll-up into desired size pieces and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • For a spicier kick, add more chili powder or a dash of cayenne pepper.
  • To make these ahead of time, wrap the rolled-up tortillas in plastic wrap and refrigerate.
  • Serve with your favorite dipping sauce, such as guacamole, sour cream, or ranch dressing.
  • For a healthier option, use whole wheat tortillas and low-fat cream cheese.

These chicken tortilla roll-ups are perfect for a quick and easy lunch or a light dinner. They can also be served as appetizers at parties or gatherings. Enjoy!
