Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese (softened)
  • 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack or mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp flour
  • 1½ cups chicken broth

  • 1 small can diced green chiles (optional for mild heat)
  • Salt to taste
  • 8 medium flour tortillas
  • 1½ cups shredded mozzarella or Mexican blend cheese
  • Chopped parsley or cilantro, for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine shredded chicken with sour cream, cream cheese, garlic powder, cumin, salt, pepper, and shredded cheese.
  2. Scoop about 3 tablespoons of filling onto each tortilla, roll it up, and place seam-side down in a greased baking dish.
