Main Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken breast
- 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup enchilada sauce
- 1 cup shredded cheese blend (cheddar and Monterey Jack), divided
- 1/2 cup canned chopped green chilies
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 8 soft flour tortillas
- Prepare the Chicken Filling: In a large bowl, combine shredded cooked chicken, cream cheese, enchilada sauce, green chilies, cumin, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated, forming a smooth and flavorful filling.
- Add the Cheese: Fold in most of the shredded cheese blend into the chicken mixture, reserving some for topping the roll-ups before baking. This adds gooey cheese inside the filling and a melty crust on top.
- Assemble the Roll-Ups: Lay the flour tortillas flat on a clean surface. Evenly spread the chicken enchilada dip filling over each tortilla. Roll each tortilla tightly to retain the filling and place them seam-side down in a baking dish.
- Bake and Finish: Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese over the assembled roll-ups. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes or until cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden. Let the roll-ups cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- Warm tortillas before rolling to prevent cracking and improve pliability.
- Do not overfill the tortillas to avoid spilling during baking.
- Shred chicken finely for even texture and better mixing.
- Customize cheese with options like queso fresco or pepper jack for different flavor profiles.
- Allow roll-ups to rest a few minutes after baking to help them hold together when sliced.
