Ingredients

2 lb chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
1 14 oz can of rotel diced tomatoes drained.
12 oz soft cream cheese
1 c shredded cheddar cheese or monterey jack
2 tsp minced garlic
3 tsp chili powder
1 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp garlic salt
1/4 c chopped cilantro
6 scallions with the white and green parts chopped
8 large flour tortillas

Steps:

1. Season the chicken breasts with salt, half of the cumin, and 1 tsp of the chili powder. Add chicken to a large skillet with 1 cup of water. Cover and cook on medium high heat until cooked through. You can add more water if necessary. Once the chicken is cooked, cool and shred with 2 forks.
2. In a large mixing bowl combine cream cheese, drained tomatoes, cheese, remaining spices, garlic, cilantro, and scallions. Mix well; add cooled shredded chicken and stir together.
3. Lay out tortillas and divide mixture evenly on the center of each. Spread into a thin layer leaving the edges clean. Roll each tortilla up tightly. Do not fold in the ends like you would a burrito but leave them free. Use a sharp knife and cut into 1 inch thick slices then transfer to a serving platter. Refrigerate until you serve.

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1 pkg (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1/3 c chunky salsa
1/4 c chopped green onion
1/2 tsp garlic salt
1/2 tsp chili powder
2 c shredded cooked chicken
12 (6 inch) flour tortillas
guacamole for garnish

Steps:

1. Beat cream cheese until smooth. Add salsa, green onion, garlic salt, and chili powder. Mix well.
2. Spread a heaping tablespoon of cream cheese mixture on each tortilla. Place a heaping tablespoon of shredded chicken on top of cream cheese. Roll up tortilla tightly, jelly roll fashion. Place on platter or baking sheet, seam side down and refrigerate. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
3. Cover and chill for at least 2 hours. Cut each tortilla into 4 pieces and place a dallop of guacamole on top of each roll up to serve.

Tips:

To make the tortillas more pliable, warm them up in the microwave for a few seconds or wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave for 10-15 seconds.
If you don't have a rotisserie chicken, you can use cooked chicken breasts or thighs. Just shred them with two forks.
For a vegetarian version, use black beans or tofu instead of chicken.
You can add other vegetables to the filling, such as corn, black beans, or bell peppers.
If you want a spicy roll-up, add some chopped jalapeños or chili powder to the filling.
Serve the roll-ups with your favorite dipping sauce, such as salsa, sour cream, or guacamole.
