Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Taco seasoning
- 4 ounces Cream cheese
- 1 cup Shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 8 pieces Flour tortillas
- 1 cup Salsa
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
Season the chicken breasts with taco seasoning, cumin powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until fully cooked through. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Shred the cooked chicken using two forks and place it in a mixing bowl.
Add cream cheese, 1/2 cup of shredded Monterey Jack cheese, and chopped cilantro to the shredded chicken. Mix until well combined.
Lay a flour tortilla flat and spoon about 1/4 cup of the chicken mixture onto the center of the tortilla. Roll the tortilla tightly and place seam-side down in the prepared baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
Top the rolled tortillas with the salsa, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded Monterey Jack cheese over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the Mexican Chicken Rolls with additional salsa, sour cream, or guacamole if desired. Enjoy!
