Ingredients for Chicken and Cheese Roll-Ups

Flour tortillas act as the wrap, holding all the delicious fillings together. They’re soft yet sturdy enough to keep everything inside. Cooked chicken breast brings protein and a juicy texture; slice it thin for easy rolling. Cheddar cheese provides a sharp, creamy layer of flavor, while shredded mozzarella adds a gooey, melty quality that’s hard to resist. The mayonnaise and Dijon mustard mix creates a tangy, smooth base that complements the chicken and cheeses. Spinach leaves introduce a fresh, vibrant element, balancing out the richness of the cheese and sauces. Finally, a bit of garlic powder and onion powder adds depth, with salt and pepper rounding out the flavors.

Tips & Tricks

  • For extra flavor, try grilling the roll-ups after assembling for a crispy exterior.
  • Use rotisserie chicken to save time and add extra flavor.
  • If you're low-carb, swap flour tortillas with lettuce leaves or low-carb wraps.

Serving Suggestions

Pair these roll-ups with a side of mixed greens or a simple tomato salad for a refreshing contrast. They also go well with some tortilla chips and salsa or a creamy avocado dip for a bit of indulgence.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make these roll-ups ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare them a day in advance. Just store them in the fridge wrapped in plastic wrap to keep them fresh.
What other fillings can I use?
Feel free to add roasted red peppers, avocado slices, or even a bit of crispy bacon for extra flavor.

Chicken and Cheese Roll-Ups Recipe Walkthrough

Start by mixing your sauce. In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until everything is smooth and well-blended.

Lay out your flour tortillas on a clean surface. This is your canvas! Spread the mustard-mayo mixture evenly over each tortilla, ensuring you reach the edges for full flavor in every bite.

Next, lay the slices of cooked chicken evenly across the tortillas. Aim for a thin, even layer so that the roll-ups stay compact. Place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of the chicken, followed by a generous sprinkle of shredded mozzarella cheese.

Now it's time for the greens. Add a layer of fresh spinach leaves. Don’t overstuff, or rolling will become tricky. Carefully roll each tortilla tightly, folding in the sides as you go to keep everything inside.

If needed, secure the roll with toothpicks. Once rolled, slice each tortilla into 2-3 inch pieces for easy serving. If you’re making them ahead of time, wrap them in plastic to keep them fresh until serving.
