The Gourmet Mama

These are excellent finger foods, perfect for parties! The tang of lime and cream cheese combines with the chicken and veggies to create a snack that will dominate the appetizer section and have your guests oohing and ahhing over your cooking skills. The best part? They’re SUPER simple. As in, your 6 year old can make them. And that’s what we’re all about here at Gourmet Mama, fast, impressive foods you don’t have to be a kitchen genius to figure out.

These roll-ups are best made ahead of time, since they need to chill, but this means you can have the party food ready to go the day before the party!

Tangy Chicken Roll-Ups

Makes 32

2 lbs chicken, cooked and chopped (about 2 cups)
1/2 c. carrot, finely shredded
1 c. lettuce, minced
1/4 c. green onions, chopped
4 9″ flour tortillas

8 oz. cream cheese
1/3 c. heavy cream
2 Tblsp. lime juice
1/2 tsp dried oregano

In a bowl, combine cream cheese, cream, lime juice and oregano. Set aside.

In another bowl, mix remaining ingredients.

Spread the tortillas with a layer of cream cheese mixture, then top with the chicken mixture. Roll up and wrap tightly in plastic wrap. Refrigerate overnight, or for at least 2 hours.

Just before serving, unwrap the rolls, cut off the ends (perfect for taste testing) and then cut each tortilla into eighths.
