- 6 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/3 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup salsa
- 1 + 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 + 1/2 cups chopped baby spinach, stems removed
- coarse salt and fresh black pepper, to taste
- 9 - 10 (6-inch) flour tortillas
- vegetable or canola oil, for frying
- your choice for serving:
- sour cream/quacamole/salsa/taco sauce/ranch dressing
Preparation
Step 1
In a large bowl mix together the chicken, cream cheese, sour cream, salsa, cheddar and spinach. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Working with one tortilla at a time add 2 heaping tablespoons of the chicken mixture off center and spread out like a log. Roll up and set seam side down on a platter. Repeat until all the tortillas are filled and rolled.
Add enough oil to a large skillet to generously cover the bottom. Heat on medium to medium-low heat, cook tortillas in batches, turning to brown each side. Remove to paper towels to drain.
This is a keeper! I saw the recipe today and made it tonight… I added 1 cup of whole kernel corn, 3/4 cup canned black beans and half an envelope of taco seasonings…. It made 32 chubbies total… every one loved it… it WILL go in the rotation of meals and it will be at football tailgate parties this fall… THANK YOU… at my age not many new recipes make the cut, this one did!
