Chicken Enchilada Dip Roll Ups

        date:

This versatile recipe turns chicken enchilada dip into perfectly snackable pinwheels. Make them for parties or as a fun lunchbox treat. *There’s an updated version of this post. Find it here!*

I can’t even begin to tell you how happy I am that I tried this recipe. This stuff is seriously amazing. I will definitely be making this again and again. Did I mention that it’s also super easy? That’s my kind of recipe. Tasty and simple! Call them pinwheels or roll ups, but either way you can call them delicious!

This recipe can definitely be adapted to your tastes. We used jalapeno cheddar tortillas, but you could use plain flour tortillas. We also used a chipotle lime flavored rotisserie chicken, but you can use any flavor you like. You could also use boneless, skinless breasts like the original recipe calls for. This also works as a dip and is especially good warmed up and served with tortilla chips.ย

    Hi! 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!

  6. clstar says:

    I'd say around 2 cups, but a little more or less should be fine. I hope that helps!

    Thanks for your response! and would they be OK to prepare the night before? Or maybe I can prepare the filling the night before, but add them to the tortillas the day of? Did I answer my own question? haha

  8. clstar says:

    You can make the filling the night before. The tortillas would get soggy if though if you rolled it all up ahead of time. So yes, just do what you were thinking and roll them up the day of. Good luck!
