Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C), ensuring it’s hot enough to cook the casserole evenly.
-
-
Mix the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, sliced green onions, chopped green chilies, and sour cream. Stir well until all ingredients are evenly mixed.
-
Reserve Mixture: Divide the filling mixture in half, reserving one portion to spread over the top of the casserole later.
-
Fill the Tortillas: Lay a tortilla flat and place about 1/3 cup of the chicken mixture in the center. Roll the tortilla tightly into a burrito shape, tucking in the ends as you go to prevent any filling from spilling out. Repeat this step with the remaining tortillas and filling.
-
Arrange in Baking Dish: Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking pan with cooking spray or oil. Place the rolled tortillas seam-side down in the pan, ensuring they fit snugly together.
-
Top with Reserved Mixture: Pour the reserved filling mixture over the top of the rolled tortillas, spreading it evenly to cover them.
-
Add Cheese: Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese generously over the top of the casserole, allowing it to melt and create a delicious, bubbly crust as it bakes.
-
Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the filling is heated through.
-
Serve: Once done, remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help the roll-ups set a little, making them easier to serve.
-
Enjoy: Serve warm, perhaps with a side salad or some guacamole, and enjoy this comforting, cheesy delight that’s sure to become a staple in your meal rotation!
This Tortilla Roll-Ups recipe is not only easy to prepare but also incredibly versatile, allowing for a variety of adaptations based on your preferences or what you have on hand.
