Easy and makes alot for a crowd. Doubled ingredients but used 3 pkgs of chicken strips and we rolled in tortilla and served as sandwiches for over 10 people. Didn't load up each tortilla too full for kids. Served hot with side of sour cream. Kids loved them as did the parents. We will also use this for school lunches. Try it.
Southwestern Rollups
For neater slices, avoid overfilling the tortilla, and roll tightly. Before serving, cut the tortilla on the diagonal.
