Ohhh yes—chicken and cheese roll-ups 😋 Quick, melty, and perfect for lunch, dinner, or snacks. Here’s a simple, foolproof method:
Chicken and Cheese Roll-Ups
Ingredients (serves 2–4)
- 2 large flour tortillas or wraps
- 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded or diced
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend)
- ¼ cup cream cheese or mayonnaise (optional, for extra creaminess)
- 2–3 green onions or chives, sliced (optional)
- Salt & pepper, to taste
- Optional: cooked bacon, diced bell peppers, or spinach
Instructions
1. Prepare the filling
- In a bowl, mix chicken, shredded cheese, cream cheese/mayo, green onions, and any optional add-ins.
- Season with salt and pepper.
2. Assemble the roll-ups
- Lay a tortilla flat.
- Spread the chicken and cheese mixture evenly over the tortilla, leaving about ½ inch at the edges.
- Roll tightly from one edge to the other.
3. Cook (optional)
- Skillet method: Heat a small amount of butter or oil over medium heat. Place the roll seam-side down and cook 2–3 minutes per side until golden and cheese melts.
- Oven method: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Place roll-ups seam-side down on a baking sheet and bake 10–12 minutes until warmed through and lightly golden.
4. Serve
- Slice into pinwheels or serve whole.
- Great with salsa, ranch, or a simple salad on the side.
Tips
- Use pre-cooked chicken to save time. Rotisserie chicken works perfectly.
- Don’t overfill or the roll-ups will be messy.
- For extra flavor, sprinkle paprika or garlic powder on the filling.
- Optional: melt cheese on top in the oven for a crispy cheesy crust.
You can also make baked crispy chicken and cheese roll-ups like taquitos if you want a crunchy version.
Do you want me to give that version too?
