My kids love anything in a tortilla shell. I thought I would get sneaky and hide some nutritious things inside the tortilla and see how they do. It worked pretty well for the first time around and I will definitely be doing it again. The nice thing about something like this is you can change out ingredients with whatever you have on hand.
What you will need:
1-10 count package of tortillas (I used flour, you could use whatever you like)
1 lb cooked chicken (I used the chicken that I portioned up from the whole chickens I bought and froze)
4oz cream cheese (1/2 of a regular package)
1/4 cup sour cream
1 cup Mexican blend cheese
1/2 small onion
1 clove of garlic
2 cups of fresh spinach
salt and pepper
5 tbsp of butter or cooking oil
What you do:
Put 1 tbsp of the oil or butter in a pan with the onion and garlic and saute for a few minutes until onions are translucent. Add the spinach and salt and pepper and cook until the spinach has wilted down. In a large bowl mix room temperature cream cheese, sour cream, the spinach mixture, chicken, and the Mexican cheese. Spread a thin layer evenly on all tortillas and roll them up tight.
I put them into a pan and let them sit in the fridge for a few hours so they were able to set, you would not have to do this step.
In a large pan melt the remaining butter or oil and begin browning all the tortillas. Make sure to brown them evenly on all sides, this just takes a few minutes.
Place browned tortillas in a 9x13 casserole dish and bake for 30 minutes on 375 degrees.
Serve with your favorite Mexican side dish (rice, beans, chips etc.) I made Spanish rice with green chilies and cheese! ENJOY
