Roll de Pollo y Queso (Chicken and Cheese Roll)
Roll de Pollo y Queso is a quick and cheesy delight that will impress your family tonight!
Begin by preheating your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).
In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add 1 chopped onion and 1 sliced bell pepper, cooking until soft, about 5 minutes.
As the vegetables cook, chop 2 pieces of chicken breast into small cubes. Add the chicken to the skillet and season with 1 teaspoon of cumin, salt, and pepper to taste. Cook until the chicken is no longer pink, about 7-10 minutes.
Once the chicken is fully cooked, remove the skillet from heat and stir in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese until melted and mixed in.
Warm 4 flour tortillas in the microwave for about 30 seconds to make them pliable.
Spoon the chicken and cheese mixture evenly onto the center of each tortilla. Roll them tightly and place them seam side down in a greased baking dish.
Top the rolled tortillas with any remaining cheese if desired.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes until the tortillas are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
