Ingredients

  • 2 8 oz blocks cream cheese softened
  • 2/3 cup thick salsa or picante sauce (Use mild, medium or hot, your preference)
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 2 Tbsp taco seasoning

  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/3 cup chopped green onion
  • 2 Tbsp chopped cilantro
  • 6 extra large burrito size tortillas

Instructions

  • Using an electric mixer on medium-high whip together the cream cheese, salsa, sour cream, taco seasoning, salt, garlic and lemon pepper until fully blended.
  • To the bowl add chicken, cheese, green onion and cilantro. Mix until evenly distributed by hand.
  • Lay the tortillas on a flat surface. Divide the mixture among the tortillas spreading the cream cheese mixture evenly leaving a 1/2 inch order all around.
