Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces large flour tortillas
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
- 2 pieces jalapeños, diced
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce (optional)
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, shredded chicken, diced jalapeños, smoked paprika, ground cumin, and garlic powder. Stir until well mixed. If you like extra heat, mix in the sriracha sauce.
Spread a generous portion of the mixture evenly onto each tortilla, leaving about 1/2 inch of space around the edges.
Roll each tortilla tightly into a log and secure with a toothpick if needed. Slice each roll into 3-4 pieces, depending on your desired size.
Place the sliced rolls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with melted butter to help them crisp up nicely in the oven.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden and crispy.
Sprinkle with fresh cilantro for added flavor and serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as salsa, guacamole, or ranch dressing.
