Hello

Have you used not rolled them up and used as a chip dip/ spread for dipping ?
We didn't use it for dipping, but it sounds interesting.. you can try.

Do they get soggy? I made something like this but put the cream cream cheese and sour cream on b4 the chicken and salsa .. That was probably why mine was soggy..
Hi Jackie,
You can create a moisture barrier layer between the wet ingredients and the tortilla; well-dried layers of lettuce or spinach usually do the best.

It says there is a cook time of 20 minutes. But I don’t see anywhere in the instructions what temperature to cook them at and 20 minutes seems a bit long? Thanks
It's a no bake recipe, Barb.

Whats the best way to cook the chicken? I have breast meat and thighs to cook. I thought just pan fry with salt and pepper but any other suggestions would be great.
It's a matter of taste, Thomas.
Your suggestion is perfectly fine.
