Instructions

Combine cream cheese, taco seasoning, taco sauce, and hot sauce (if using) in a medium-sized mixing bowl. Stir until well blended.
Add in the cheese, chicken, red bell pepper, green onions, and cilantro. Stir to combine.
Lay one of the tortillas flat on a cutting board, and spread about 1 ½ cup of the cream cheese mixture onto the tortilla. Tightly roll the tortillas, squeezing gently as you roll. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
Place rolled tortillas on a baking sheet or plate, and refrigerate rolled tortillas for at least 30 minutes to help set the cream cheese.
When chilling time is up, use a serrated knife to cut off the first inch of the roll (this scrap part doesn’t look pretty, but it sure does taste good!). Then cut 1-inch slices down the roll. You should get about six full slices per roll. Serve immediately with salsa for dipping, or refrigerate and enjoy within 2-3 days.
