# Detailed Cooking Steps:
01 -
In a large bowl, thoroughly mix cream cheese, sour cream, taco seasoning, salsa, jalapenos, cheddar cheese, shredded chicken, and cilantro until homogeneous.
02 -
Lay one flour tortilla flat on a clean surface or plate and spread approximately 30 to 45 ml (2 to 3 tablespoons) of the filling evenly over the entire surface.
03 -
Roll the tortilla tightly into a cylinder shape, then place it on a plate. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and filling.
04 -
Refrigerate the rolled tortillas for 2 hours to firm up and allow flavors to meld.
05 -
Remove the chilled rolls and slice off the ends. Then cut each roll into bite-sized pieces appropriate for serving.
06 -
Arrange tortilla roll-up slices on a serving platter and garnish with additional chopped cilantro as desired.
# Helpful Hints:
01 -
Ensure tortillas are at room temperature for optimal flexibility during rolling.
02 -
Smaller tortillas can be used; adjust filling quantity accordingly.
03 -
Chilling improves texture, but if short on time, slicing without refrigeration is possible.
04 -
Boiling jalapenos briefly reduces spiciness if milder flavor is preferred.
