Just a quick post with a recipe that my kids love! An intern, at my day job, gave me this idea and it has quickly become a family favorite! The kids can even make it on their own!
First- Ingredients- There are a whopping 4 ingredients to this masterpiece!!
1-Flour Tortillas: Any size really. This smaller size was on sale at the grocery store this week.
2- Taco Seasoning- This recipe requires one packet. I usually buy the bigger containers (or make my own) just because my family has a lot of Taco Tuesdays!
3- A standard 8 ounce brick of cream cheese.
4- About 10 oz of chicken breast, shredded or canned works (if I make grilled chicken breast I always make an extra with just a little salt to season so that I have it the next day for this recipe).
Second step- Mix the cream cheese (make sure its room temperature so that you don't have to be the Hulk to mix it together), chicken and one packet of taco seasoning in a decent sized mixing bowl. I usually use a hand mixer for this but when the kids make it themselves they just use a a big spoon.
After it's all mixed together- spread it evenly on a tortilla.
Then- roll the tortilla (You can also throw a layer of cheddar cheese or diced tomatoes on before you roll this up if you are feeling fancy!)
After I have all the tortilla's rolled (you should have enough chicken mixture for several of the small sized ones) I usually stick them in the refrigerator for half an hour or so just to make them easier to slice).
Which leads me to our last step- Slice the rolled tortillas evenly. You may want to help the kids with this part.
Hope you guys like these! They're great on picnics and for mid day snacks!
