Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Gluten-free tortillas
- 2 cups Shredded rotisserie chicken (or black beans for a vegetarian option)
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 medium Red bell pepper, diced
- 1 small Red onion, diced
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 0.5 cup Sour cream (or dairy-free alternative)
- 0.5 cup Salsa
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded rotisserie chicken or black beans, shredded cheddar cheese, diced red bell pepper, diced red onion, and chopped cilantro.
Add sour cream, salsa, ground cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the filling mixture. Stir everything together until well combined.
Place a gluten-free tortilla on a flat surface. Spoon 3-4 tablespoons of the filling mixture onto the center of the tortilla. Spread it out evenly, leaving about 1 inch of space around the edges.
Roll up the tortilla tightly, tucking in the sides as you roll. Place the roll seam-side down onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
Brush the tops of the rolls lightly with olive oil using a pastry brush. This will help them get golden and crispy while baking.
Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are crispy and golden brown.
Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes before slicing them into halves or bite-sized pieces.
Serve warm with extra salsa, sour cream, or guacamole on the side for dipping. Enjoy!
