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.

Tips:
- Use fresh tortillas: Fresh tortillas are more pliable and easier to roll up without cracking. If you don't have fresh tortillas, you can warm store-bought tortillas in a microwave or oven to make them more pliable.
- Shred your own chicken: Shredding your own chicken gives you more control over the texture and consistency of the chicken in your roll-ups. You can also use rotisserie chicken or leftover chicken from a previous meal.
- Use a variety of fillings: Don't be afraid to experiment with different fillings in your chicken tortilla roll-ups. Some popular options include black beans, corn, bell peppers, onions, and cheese.
- Roll them up tightly: When you're rolling up the tortillas, make sure to do it tightly so that the filling doesn't fall out. You can secure the roll-ups with toothpicks or skewers if necessary.
- Bake or fry: Chicken tortilla roll-ups can be baked or fried. If you're baking them, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese is melted. If you're frying them, heat a large skillet over medium heat and fry the roll-ups until they're golden brown and crispy.
Conclusion:
Chicken tortilla roll-ups are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They're perfect for parties or potlucks, and they can also be packed for lunch. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy recipe, give chicken tortilla roll-ups a try.
