Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 can ro-tel diced tomatoes drained
- 12 oz cream cheese softened
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 3 tsp ancho chili powder
- 1 tsp cumin
- ½ tsp cayenne pepper
- ½ tsp garlic salt
- ¼ cup cilantro chopped
- 6 scallions white and green parts, chopped
- 6-8 large flour tortillas spinach and cheddar jalapeno
Instructions
- Season the chicken breasts with salt, half of the cumin, and 1 tsp of the chili powder.
- Add chicken to a large skillet and add about 1 cup of water.
- Cover and cook on med-high heat until cooked through, about 8 minutes. Add more water if necessary.
- Once the chicken is cooked, remove to a plate or cutting board, cool slightly and shred with 2 forks.
- In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, drained tomatoes, cheese, remaining spices, garlic, cilantro, and scallions. Mix together until well combined. Add cooled chicken and stir together.
- Lay out tortillas and divide mixture evenly in the center of each one. Spread the filling into a thin layer leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges. Roll each tortilla tightly and do not fold in the ends like you would with a burrito but leave them free.
- Use a sharp knife to cut into 1-inch thick slices and transfer to a serving platter. (The end pieces will likely unroll a little so just eat the extras.)
- Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve.
