We had a dinner meeting at our house on Friday night to prepare for a youth retreat we are leading in August, and I decided it would be fun to have a Mexican Fiesta theme to the dinner. So everyone brought some sort of mexican dish. I had seen these roll-ups on Delicious Meliscious and Cook Like a Champion and knew they would be a great addition to the party. Little did I know they would be such a huge hit! These went like hotcakes! They were so fresh and full of flavor and the perfect bite. This is my new go-to appetizer! They were super easy to make and everyone was asking how to make them. Definitely give these a try for your next gathering.

I have taken these to two different gatherings, and they where also a big hit. Everyone loved them, and begged me for the recipe. I would highly reccomend these to anyone.
What a great appetizer with all the flavor of enchiladas in one bite!
Looks great! I need to try them.
Oh my goodness, these sound so good! I can’t wait to try them!
Hi! This may sound silly but is the flavor really like enchiladas? These look delish and I am considering it for our BBQ, but I don't like the flavor of enchiladas at all. Also, would this be OK to prepare the night before?
Thanks!
I almost forgot, how many cups of chicken do you need for this recipe (or an estimate)? I already have some frozen chicken in the freezer so just need a ballpark.
Thanks!
I made these for a baby shower on Sunday. I got SO many compliments! Thanks for the great recipe. I followed it almost exactly, except I used rotisserie chicken instead of canned chicken. Delicious
I made these tonight and they are out of this world, your photos tempted me beyond restraint!
These look and sound so delicious! Just telling my husband too bad we already had food planned out for our home group's potluck or I would bring these. Bookmarking this for next time!
