Mexican Taco Roll with Chicken

I love Mexican food, but I do not eat it as much as I used to or as often as I would like because it’s not often that you find Mexican food that is healthy. With that said, I am a big believer in splurging and every now and then rewarding yourself with what you love and like I said above, I love Mexican food, so I decided to make my family a Mexican Taco Roll with Chicken. 

My Mexican Taco Roll with Chicken is not the healthiest dish but it isn’t necessarily 100% unhealthy. For this recipe, you only need a few ingredients. 

• 6 regular size flour tortillas
• 1 – 1 1/2 cups of cheese or more if you prefer
• 1 can of refried beans (you may not need the entire can)
• 1 onion, sliced
• 2 tablespoons oil or butter
• 3-4 chicken tenders, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 2 garlic cloves, diced
• 1 egg
• 1 tablespoon cilantro, chopped
• 1 tomato, diced
• Hot sauce, sour cream, avocado (optional)

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees
• Cook bite-sized chicken (I cooked it on the stove top)
• Heat oil or butter in a skillet
• Once heated, add garlic cloves and onion and sautee
• Place the tortillas on a nonstick cookie sheet and overlap them (see picture below)
• Sprinkle 1 cup of cheese over the tortillas
• Bake for 13-15 minutes

• Heat beans in a bowl
• Spread beans over tortillas
• Layer the chicken over the beans
• Sprinkle sauteed onions and garlic over chicken
• Sprinkle remaining cheese over the chicken and onions mix

• Start with one side of the taco and roll carefully towards the edge of the pan
• Use the beans as a glue to hold the tortillas closed (this part is not easy, do your best)
• Egg wash the top of the tortilla
• Bake at 350 degrees for 10- 15 minutes
• Top with tomatoes, avocado, hot sauce etc
• Cut in slices and serve
