Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz Cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.25 cup Sour cream
- 1 cup Cooked chicken, shredded
- 0.5 cup Black beans, rinsed and drained
- 0.5 cup Corn kernels, frozen or canned (drained)
- 1 oz Canned diced green chiles, drained
- 1 tsp Chili powder
- 1 tsp Cumin
- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
- 2 tbsp Cilantro, chopped
- 2 Green onions, chopped
- 6 Flour tortillas (large)
- 1 tsp Hot sauce (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, and sour cream. Mix until smooth and well blended.
Add the shredded chicken, black beans, corn, diced green chiles, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, cilantro, and green onions to the bowl. Stir until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
If you like a little heat, stir in the hot sauce.
Lay out a flour tortilla on a flat surface. Spread about 1/3 cup of the filling evenly over the tortilla, leaving about 1/2 inch of space around the edges.
Roll the tortilla tightly to form a log. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and filling.
Once all the tortillas are rolled, wrap each roll tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. This helps them firm up for easier slicing.
After chilling, unwrap the rolls and slice them into 1-inch pieces using a sharp knife.
Arrange the Southwest Tortilla Rolls on a plate or serving platter and serve immediately. They pair well with salsa or guacamole on the side!
