Total Time: 40 mins Preparation Time: 30 mins Cook Time: 10 mins

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained
• 12 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese or 1 cup monterey jack cheese
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 3 teaspoons dried ancho chile powder
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt (i like lawry's)
• 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
• 6 scallions, and green parts, chopped
• 6 -8 large flour tortillas

Recipe

• 1 season the chicken breasts with salt, half of the cumin, and 1 tsp of the chili powder. add chicken to a skillet and add about 1 cup of water. cover and cook on med-high heat until cooked through. add more water if necessary. once the chicken is cooked, cool slightly and shred with 2 forks.
• 2 in a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, drained tomatoes, cheese, remaining spices, garlic, cilantro and scallions. mix together until well-incorporated. add cooled chicken and stir together.
• 3 lay out tortillas and divide mixture evenly in the center of each. spread into a thin layer leaving the edges clean. roll each tortilla tightly. do not fold in the ends like you would with a burrito but leave them free. use a sharp knife to cut into 1" thick slices and transfer to a serving platter. (the end pieces will likely unroll a little so just eat the extras). cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve.
