Mexi-Chicken Roll Ups are a delightful explosion of flavors, combining juicy chicken with zesty Mexican spices, all wrapped in a soft tortilla. This easy-to-make dish is perfect for a quick lunch, dinner, or even a fun party appetizer.

2. What You’ll Need:

• 4 Oz Cream Cheese
• 1/2 cup Salsa Verde
• 1 Small Bunch Cilantro, Chopped
• 1 teaspoon Cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
• 6 Chicken Breasts
• 3 ounces Fresh Spinach
• 3 Oz Pepper Jack Cheese, Shredded
• 6 ounces Tortilla Chips, Crushed

3. How to Cook:

Begin by preparing the chicken with the Mexican seasoning. Warm the tortillas slightly to make them more pliable. Spread the seasoned chicken evenly over each tortilla, add your favorite toppings, and tightly roll them up. You can enjoy them as is or lightly grill them for a warm, crispy exterior.

Step 1: Flatten Chicken Breasts

Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap. Use a meat mallet or rolling pin to gently pound the chicken until it reaches a thickness of approximately 6 mm (1/4 inch). This ensures even cooking and a more tender result.

Step 2: Prepare the Sauce

In a blender or food processor, combine the cream cheese, salsa, cilantro, cumin, and garlic powder. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy, forming a flavorful sauce. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.

Step 3: Assemble Chicken Rolls

Spread a spoonful of the prepared sauce evenly over each flattened chicken breast. Arrange fresh spinach leaves on top of the sauce. Then, sprinkle shredded cheese over the spinach.

Step 4: Roll and Coat

Carefully roll up each chicken breast, enclosing the sauce, spinach, and cheese. Gently press to seal the edges. Then, roll the filled chicken breasts in crushed tortilla chips, ensuring they are fully coated.

Step 5: Bake the Rolls

Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F). Place the coated chicken rolls in a baking dish. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches a safe level.

4. Serving Suggestions

Serve the Mexi-Chicken Roll Ups with a side of guacamole, sour cream, or your favorite salsa. They are also great with a refreshing margarita or a cold Mexican beer.
