Melty Cheese and Chicken Wrap-ups

This recipe is a family favorite!  We usually just call them "chicken wraps", but that name doesn't really do these hot, cheesy, spicy roll-ups justice.  I thought "melty" was just right.

When I make these, I make at least three dozen.  Yes, three dozen!  We eat until we are stuffed and refrigerate the rest for a few lunches and a dinner during the school week.  They reheat really well, and the mix can even be frozen separately.  It's a beautiful thing. 

To begin, sprinkle salt and pepper on 4 large chicken breasts.  I like to use seasoned salt for a little extra kick if I have any around.

Bake the chicken for about 20 minutes at 400 degrees, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees.

After the chicken cools a bit, shred it or chop it into small pieces and compile your remaining ingredients: one stick of butter, Velveeta cheese, and two cans of cream of chicken soup. Perhaps not very healthy, but oh, so yummy!

In a large saucepan, stir together the two cans of cream of chicken, the stick of butter, and the Velveeta on medium-low until combined.

Add the chicken.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and break out the tortillas.  Butter one side of each tortilla and spoon about 1/4 cup of filling in the tortilla (not the buttered side).  Roll it up, butter side out!

Bake the roll-ups for about 20 minutes, then turn them and bake for another 10-15 minutes until golden brown. I like to eat mine piping hot with plenty of sour cream and salsa.

The Little Outdoorsman couldn't wait to eat!  I think he bit off a little more than he can chew.  He ate an entire roll up with a big dollop of sour cream.  Growing boy!
