Ingredients
1 small onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 pound cooked boneless, skinless chicken breasts, shredded
1 cup Taco Bell Home Originals Thick ‘N Chunky Salsa, divided
4 ounces Philadelphia cream cheese, cubed
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 cup Kraft shredded Cheddar & Monterey Jack cheese, divided
8 (6 inch) flour tortillas
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
Coat a large skillet with cooking spray. Add onion and garlic; cook and stir on medium heat for 2 minutes. Stir in chicken, 1/4 cup salsa, cream cheese, cilantro, and cumin until combined; cook until heated through, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in 1/2 cup Monterey Jack cheese until combined.
Spoon about 1/3 cup chicken mixture down center of each tortilla; roll up. Place, seam-sides down, into the prepared baking dish; top with remaining salsa and cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven until heated through, 15 to 20 minutes.
