Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 cup broccoli florets, steamed
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 6 large tortillas
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, steamed broccoli florets, and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix thoroughly to ensure even distribution of ingredients.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise and lemon juice until smooth. This will serve as a creamy binding sauce for the filling.
- Pour the mayonnaise mixture into the chicken and broccoli mixture. Gently stir until all ingredients are well coated and evenly combined.
- Lay out the large tortillas on a clean, flat surface. Divide the chicken and broccoli mixture evenly among the tortillas, spreading it in a line across the center of each tortilla.
- Carefully roll each tortilla tightly, tucking in the sides to prevent filling from falling out. Place the rolled tortillas seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Optional: Sprinkle additional shredded cheese on top of the roll-ups for extra flavor and golden browning.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the tortillas are golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted.
- Remove from oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes. Slice each roll-up diagonally and serve hot.
Tips
- Use rotisserie chicken for an even faster prep time and extra flavor.
- Ensure broccoli is thoroughly drained to prevent soggy tortillas.
- For a crispier exterior, brush the rolled tortillas with a light olive oil before baking.
- Experiment with different cheese varieties like pepper jack or Swiss for unique flavor profiles.
- Make these roll-ups ahead of time and refrigerate before baking—perfect for meal prep!
- Allow the roll-ups to cool slightly before cutting to help them hold their shape.
- Serve with a side of ranch or sriracha mayo for an extra flavor kick.
