Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 4 large tortillas (flour or corn)
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or Mexican blend)
- 1 cup cooked chicken (shredded or diced)
- 1/2 cup black beans (drained and rinsed)
- 1/2 cup corn (cooked, frozen, or canned)
- 1 medium tomato (diced)
- 1/4 cup green onions (sliced)
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro (chopped)
- 1/2 teaspoon taco seasoning
Dips
- 1/4 cup sour cream (for dipping)
- Salsa (for dipping)
Instructions
- Gather Ingredients: Collect all the ingredients and organize them on a clean workspace to ensure a smooth assembly process.
- Mix the Filling: In a large bowl, combine the cooked chicken, black beans, corn, diced tomatoes, green onions, cilantro, and taco seasoning. Stir thoroughly to blend all the flavors well.
- Assemble the Roll Ups: Lay one tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spoon an even layer of the prepared filling mixture across the center of the tortilla.
- Add Cheese: Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheese evenly over the filling layer.
- Roll It Up: Carefully roll the tortilla around the filling, tucking the sides in as you go to secure everything inside and form a neat roll.
- Repeat: Repeat the assembly process with the remaining tortillas and filling mixture.
- Heat (Optional): For a warm and crispy finish, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place the roll-ups seam-side down in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn golden brown and the cheese inside melts.
- Slice and Serve: Remove the roll-ups from the skillet and allow them to cool briefly. Then slice into pinwheels or halves for easy serving alongside sour cream and salsa dips.
Notes
- Use either flour or corn tortillas depending on your preference for flavor and texture.
- For a vegetarian version, omit the chicken and increase beans and corn quantities.
- The heating step is optional but recommended for melting the cheese and adding a crispy exterior.
- Customize the taco seasoning to suit your preferred spice level.
- These roll ups can be prepared ahead of time and heated before serving for convenience.
