Ingredients

Servings
  • 3 tortilla large burrito-size
  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
  • cup taco sauce mild
  • 2 teaspoons hot sauce optional
  • 1 cup Mexican cheese blend shredded
  • 1 ½ cups shredded cooked chicken (rotisserie chicken works great)
  • ½ cup red bell pepper diced
  • 2 green onions finely chopped
  • ¼ cup cilantro finely minced
  • salsa for serving

Instructions

  1. Combine cream cheese, taco seasoning, taco sauce, and hot sauce (if using) in a medium-sized mixing bowl. Stir until well blended.
  2. Add in the cheese, chicken, red bell pepper, green onions, and cilantro. Stir to combine.
  3. 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.
  4. Place rolled tortillas on a baking sheet or plate, and refrigerate rolled tortillas for at least 30 minutes to help set the cream cheese.
  5. 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.
