Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 12

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.

Tips:

1. Choose the Right Tortillas: - Fresh, pliable tortillas are essential for creating perfect roll-ups. Corn or flour tortillas can be used, but flour tortillas tend to be more pliable and less likely to crack when rolled. - If using corn tortillas, warm them slightly in a skillet or microwave to make them more flexible. 2. Use High-Quality Ingredients: - Fresh, flavorful fillings and sauces will elevate the taste of your tortilla roll-ups. - Use ripe vegetables, flavorful cheeses, and well-seasoned meats. - Experiment with different ingredients to create unique flavor combinations. 3. Create a Flavorful Spread: - Elevate the taste of your roll-ups by spreading a flavorful sauce or dip on the tortilla before adding the fillings. - Try using guacamole, salsa, hummus, cream cheese, or a flavored mayonnaise. 4. Fill, Roll, and Chill: - Don’t overfill the tortillas. Too much filling can make them difficult to roll and may cause them to break. - Roll the tortillas tightly to ensure that the fillings stay in place. - Chill the roll-ups for at least 30 minutes before slicing. This will help them hold their shape when cut. 5. Presentation is Key: - Cut the roll-ups into uniform-sized pieces for a visually appealing presentation. - Garnish with fresh herbs, a drizzle of sauce, or a sprinkle of cheese before serving.

Conclusion:

Creating delicious and impressive tortilla roll-ups is an art form that requires a combination of fresh ingredients, careful preparation, and a touch of creativity. With the right ingredients and techniques, you can create a variety of flavorful roll-ups that are perfect for parties, potlucks, or everyday snacks. So, get creative in the kitchen and experiment with different fillings, sauces, and garnishes to make your next batch of tortilla roll-ups a hit!
