Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 4 oz cream cheese softened
  • 2 tablespoons ranch seasoning or 1 packet ranch dressing mix
  • 8 –10 small flour tortillas
  • Cooking spray or oil for brushing

Equipment

  • Baking sheet + parchment paper

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
  2. Mix shredded chicken, cheddar, softened cream cheese, and ranch seasoning until creamy and combined.
  3. Warm tortillas briefly so they are pliable. Spoon 2–3 tablespoons of filling down the center of each and roll tightly. Place seam-side down on the sheet.
  4. Lightly spray or brush with oil. Bake 15–18 minutes until golden and crispy.
  5. Cool 1–2 minutes and serve with salsa, sour cream, guacamole, or ranch for dipping.

Notes

Rotisserie chicken is the fastest option. Warm tortillas to prevent cracking. High heat and a light oil coating create the best crisp. Excellent for freezing unbaked. Highly requested family dinner.
