Chicken Roll-ups

By Derrick Riches, About.com Guide

These roll-ups make a great meal or appetizer. Like a burrito or taco, you can really do whatever you'd like with these.

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Cook Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 4 chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 8 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, grated
  • 8 flour tortillas
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/3 cup green onions, chopped
  • salt and pepper to taste

Preparation:

Cut chicken breast in half lengthwise. Season with salt and pepper. Combine olive oil, lime juice and garlic. Place chicken in a resealable bag and pour oil mixture over top. Turn to coat. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to 2 hours. Preheat Grill. Grill chicken until just done. Don't over cook.

Divide cheddar cheese in half and save one half for later. Place 1 tablespoon of cheese on the lower third of a tortilla. Top with one piece of chicken and about 1/8th of the green onions. Fold in sides and roll up tortilla tightly. Wrap in foil. Repeat until you have 8 roll-ups. Place on warm grill to heat. Meanwhile combine sour cream and remaining cheese. Heat in microwave until just warm and stir.

Cut roll-ups in half and serve with sour cream and cheese mixture, and/or salsa. Roll-ups can be made in advance and heated when you need them.
