These Taco Tortilla Roll Ups are a quick and easy appetizer perfect for parties or casual gatherings. Soft flour tortillas are filled with a creamy mixture of cream cheese, sour cream, taco seasoning, hot sauce, shredded cheddar cheese, cooked shredded chicken, and fresh cilantro. Rolled tightly, chilled, and sliced into bite-sized wheels, they offer a delicious and flavorful bite with plenty of southwestern flair.

  • Total Time: 15 minutes plus chilling time
  • Yield: 36 servings (approximately 6 rolls sliced into 6 pieces each)

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 6 large flour tortillas
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 4 oz sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon hot sauce
  • 1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 cups cooked and shredded chicken
  • ¼ cup finely chopped cilantro

Instructions

  1. Combine cream cheese and sour cream: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese with sour cream and mix until smooth and creamy.
  2. Add seasonings: Incorporate the taco seasoning and hot sauce into the creamy mixture, stirring thoroughly to ensure an even blend of flavors.
  3. Mix in cheese, chicken, and cilantro: Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, cooked shredded chicken, and finely chopped cilantro until all ingredients are well combined.
  4. Spread filling on tortillas: Lay out one flour tortilla and spread approximately one-sixth of the filling evenly over the surface, leaving about a half-inch border around the edges.
  5. Roll up tightly: Roll the tortilla tightly from one edge to the other to form a compact roll. Wrap the roll in plastic wrap to maintain its shape and freshness.
  6. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling: Repeat the spreading and rolling process for the other five tortillas using the remaining filling.
  7. Refrigerate the roll ups: Place the wrapped rolls in the refrigerator and chill for a few hours, allowing the flavors to meld and the filling to set.
  8. Slice and serve: Remove the rolls from the refrigerator and unwrap. Using a sharp serrated knife, slice each roll into ½-inch thick wheels. Arrange on a serving platter and serve chilled or at room temperature.
