- 8 ounces softened cream cheese
- ½ cup salsa
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 4 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
- 12 soft taco-sized flour tortillas
- ¼ cup melted butter
ADULT STEP: Preheat the oven to 375˚F.
GET THE KIDS INVOLVED: In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, salsa, cheddar cheese, seasonings, and salt and pepper. Fold in the shredded chicken.
In the center of each tortilla, place 2 to 3 tablespoons of the chicken mixture and flatten it down. Roll up the tortilla like a tiny burrito and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and chicken mixture, then brush each one with melted butter.
ADULT STEP: Bake 25 minutes until golden brown and crisp.
