Spicy Chicken Tortilla Roll Ups image

I came across this recipe on a recipe blog website some time ago. Thankfully I wrote it down because I cant remember the site I got it from. When I made this I knew this was a keeper. Good for a snack or appetizer or any function.

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 12

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.

I made a few substitutions to the recipe. I used ground turkey instead of chicken and I added some black beans and corn to the filling. The tortilla roll-ups were still delicious!
