I wanted to make an appetizer for a 'California' themed potluckm so I came up with California Wheels. Chicken, cream cheese, cilantro, and avocados are the main ingredients.
Ingredients:
- 1 red pepper
- 2 chicken breasts (about a pound)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon coriander
- 16 ounces cream cheese, cut into chunks then softened
- juice of 1 lime
- 1/2 teaspoon powdered garlic
- 1/4 teaspoon cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 bunch cilantro, chopped finely
- guacamole (10 ounces or so, I used a pack from Costco)
- 8 ten" flour tortillas
Instructions:
- Set out cream cheese to soften. (Cut into chunks)
- Roast a red pepper. (Cut pepper into 1.5" pieces, cook in air fryer for about 8 minutes at 250, then for 6 minutes at 400. Place in small closed container to steam, let cool, and peel off skins.)
- Mix chicken spices together, then sprinkle on both sides of the chicken breasts.
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Heat a grill pan to medium-high, place each breast on diagonal on pan and cook 1 side for 4 minutes. Flip chicken, cook for another 2 minutes.
- Place grill pan and chicken in oven then bake for 20 minutes (chicken should be at 165)
- Let chicken cool.
- Mix together cream cheese, yogurt, cilantro, lime juice and dip spices in food processor. Briefly pulse in cilantro (so it will stay mostly white.)
- After chicken cooks, slice into ~1/8" thick slices, then slice into ~1/8" thick matchsticks or cubes.
- Slice roasted peppers into 1/4" cubes.
- Spread each tortilla with 1/8 of cream cheese mixture, then spread the center with 1/8 of the guacamole.
- Sprinkle each with 1/8 of the chicken and roasted pepper.
- Firmly roll up tortilla into cigar shape. Place in refrigerator to chill.
- Slice each roll into about 1" slices. Serve cold.
Carole's Notes:
We liked these! The fresh cilanto, lime and guacamole are very tasty! It makes a lot of wheels to share.
