Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken (breast or rotisserie)
  • 1 cup enchilada sauce (red)
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 6 flour tortillas

Optional Fresh Herbs

  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro

Spices

  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp chili powder

Instructions

  1. Prepare the filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken with cream cheese, enchilada sauce, shredded cheddar, Monterey Jack cheeses, ground cumin, chili powder, and chopped green onions (if using). Mix thoroughly until the filling is creamy and evenly coated.
  2. Warm the tortillas: Heat the flour tortillas quickly in a dry skillet over medium heat or in the microwave for about 20 seconds to make them soft and flexible, preventing cracking when rolled.
  3. Assemble the roll-ups: Lay each warm tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread a generous but moderate amount of the chicken and cheese mixture evenly over the tortilla, leaving about a ½-inch border around the edges for easier rolling.
  4. Roll and secure: Carefully roll each tortilla tightly into a log shape to keep the filling inside. Place each roll-up seam-side down on a baking sheet or oven-safe dish to help them hold their shape during baking.
  5. Bake until bubbly: Bake the assembled roll-ups in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the tortilla edges are golden and crispy.

Notes

  • Don’t overfill tortillas to avoid tearing and help create clean rolls.
  • Use warm tortillas to minimize cracks and keep rolls intact.
  • Shred chicken finely for even flavor distribution and easier rolling.
  • Adjust chili powder or add fresh chilies to customize spice levels.
  • Let roll-ups rest for a few minutes after baking to firm up for easier slicing and serving.
