Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 12.5 oz can chunk white chicken, drained (can substitute rotisserie chicken or homemade shredded chicken)
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 5 oz pepper jack cheese, shredded
- 1/4 cup medium salsa
- 6 fajita sized flour or corn tortillas *See note below for corn tortillas
- toppings as desired-sour cream, green onion, avocado, etc.
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl combine chicken, cheeses and salsa.
- Spread mixture in the middle of each tortilla and roll.
- Place seam-side down on a baking sheet.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes or until edges start to brown.
- Serve immediately with desired toppings.
Notes
- If you are using corn tortillas, place them in between damp paper towels and heat them up in the microwave for 20-30 seconds prior to rolling. This makes them more flexible and less likely to tear. You’ll also want to spray them with nonstick spray prior to baking.
