Ingredients
  

  • Cream Cheese 8 oz: This serves as the creamy base of the mixture, binding all the flavors together. Using softened cream cheese ensures easier mixing.
  • Sour Cream 4 oz: Adds a tangy twist and enhances the overall creaminess, creating a delightful mouthfeel.
  • Taco Seasoning 2 tbsp: The star ingredient that infuses flavor into the roll ups; feel free to make your own blend for a unique taste.
  • Salsa 1/3 cup: Provides moisture and a burst of tangy flavor along with a hint of spice, making these roll ups irresistibly tasty.
  • Jalapeños 1-2, finely diced: For those who enjoy a bit of heat; they can be omitted or boiled for a milder flavor.
  • Shredded Cheddar Cheese 1 1/2 cups: This adds a gooey texture and enhances the flavor profile, balancing the creaminess with its sharpness.
  • Shredded Chicken 1 1/2 cups: A great source of protein, it makes the roll ups more filling. You can use leftover chicken or rotisserie chicken for convenience.
  • Cilantro 1/3 cup, finely chopped: Adds freshness and a vibrant color. If you're not a cilantro fan, you can substitute it with green onions.
  • Flour Tortillas 6, 8 inch: These serve as the wraps, holding everything together. Ensure they are fresh and pliable for easy rolling.

Method
 

  1. Combine the Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, sour cream, taco seasoning, salsa, diced jalapeños, shredded cheddar cheese, shredded chicken, and chopped cilantro. Mix until well-blended and smooth.
  2. Prepare the Tortillas: Place one tortilla on a clean surface or plate. Using a spatula or the back of a spoon, spread an even layer of the mixture onto the tortilla, leaving about an inch on the edges for easy rolling.
  3. Roll it Up: Starting from one end, carefully roll the tortilla tightly around the filling, ensuring it’s snug but not overly tight to prevent bursting.
  4. Chill the Roll Ups: Place the rolled tortilla on a plate seam-side down. Repeat the process for the remaining tortillas. Cover with plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Chilling helps set the mixture and makes slicing easier.
  5. Slice and Garnish: Once chilled, remove from the fridge and slice each roll into 1-inch pieces. Garnish each roll with extra chopped cilantro for a fresh touch.
