Ingredients
4cupsshredded cheese of choiceI use 2 cups colby and 2 cups mozzarella
Chicken Filling
2cupscooked shredded chicken
1cupsalsa
Quick Dip
1cupsour cream
1cupsalsa
1tspchili powder
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper. Draw six 6-8 inch circles on the parchment paper (3 on each baking sheet)
In a large measuring cup or small bowl gently stir together cheese (if using more than 1 kind) Place about 1/2 cup of cheese in the center of each the circles drawn on the parchment paper
Spread the cheese to cover the circles to form a circle tortilla shape. Make sure there are no gaps in the cheese
Bake at 375 degrees for about 10 minutes or until cheese is bubbly and slightly golden on edges
Remove from the oven. Allow to cool for about 3 minutes or just until cool enough to touch. Do not allow it to cool for too long. The longer it cools the crispier it gets and you will not be able to roll it
Once it is cool enough to touch place the desired amount of filling in the center of the "tortilla" and roll around the filling. Serve immediately
Chicken Filling
While the "tortillas" are baking place chicken and salsa in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir to fully coat the chicken with the salsa
Bring to a low boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer 3-5 minutes or until the tortillas are done baking
Quick Dip
In a medium bowl stir together all the dip ingredients until fully combined
