When I saw this recipe, I had to make it. I did change it a little though. I made my pico de gallo recipe and used it as a topping after removing them from the oven. I prefer the topping instead of mixing the ingredients together and spreading everything onto the tortillas. They were fantastic!

These were very tasty. The only thing that I changed when I made them the second time is I added extra chicken. These are delicious.

This was super easy to put together. I also bought pre-cooked chicken to save some time. When I baked it, I put them up-right so both sides were exposed. The leftovers were also good reheated in the microwave.

Not a review just a question.. Do we use pre-cooked tortillas or uncooked??

Such a huge hit at parties! My new go-to. I've even had requests to bring it. I bought half a rotisserie chicken at the deli dept at the grocery store to save time on cooking the chicken.

These were very good and quite a hit at my daughter's mexican themed birthday party. I couldn't fine fresh cilantro anywhere so I used about a tablespoon of the cilantro paste in a tube and it was very good.

Easy & Delicious! I added about 2 tablespoonsof taco seasoning which added a little more flavour to the cream cheese. I didn't have green onion on-hand so I just used 1/2 of a normal cooking onion,finely chopped.

These were very good. I made them for an appitizer for a party. I used different flavored tortillas which gave different colors as well - They went over very well! I served them with a mexican dip to add a little spice for those who wanted it - also with sour cream but they were good on their own!
