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:
- 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.
- 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.
- Add toppings: If desired, add optional toppings like black olives, tomatoes, lettuce, or cheese on top of the chicken mixture.
- Roll it up: Carefully roll up the tortillas tightly, starting from one end and working your way to the other.
- 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!
