Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
  • 1/2 cup spicy hot sauce
  • 1 cup grated mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup softened cream cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 8 small corn tortillas
  • Olive oil for brushing

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken with the spicy hot sauce, mozzarella cheese, cream cheese, garlic powder, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper. Stir until well blended and creamy.
  3. Lay a corn tortilla flat on a clean surface. Place about 2-3 tablespoons of the chicken mixture in the center and roll it up, tucking in the sides. Set seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  4. Continue this process until all tortillas and filling are used.
  5. Brush the tops of the roll-ups lightly with olive oil.
  6. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
  7. Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.
