College football crowned their first champion with the new playoff system this week. We watched the game in Vegas. It was my Christmas gift to Chicken Legs. He was in heaven! He would go every month if we could afford it. This weekend, we are watching NFL Playoff games at home. I plan on serving these Chicken Salsa Rollups. I got a similar recipe from my Mom. I just added some chicken to her recipe. These were not spicy at all. The heat will totally depend on the salsa that you use in this recipe.

You can still stay on track with your healthy eating goals and eat these Chicken Salsa Rollups with a few little swaps.
I used 100% Whole Wheat Tortillas, Reduced-Fat Cheddar Cheese and Greek Cream Cheese in these Chicken Salsa Rollups. Chicken Legs couldn't tell the difference. I thought they were great!

    I love any kind of rollup/pinwheel, adding meat just gives me an excuse to consider them a meal! Sounds delicious, I'll be making them this weekend

    I used to use the Philadelphia Santa Fe cooking creme to make these but of course now I cannot find anyone who sells it.

      All flavors of the cooking cremes were discontinued by Kraft - no one will have them!

      Thanks! I had read they cut back on who sold them. It makes me sad because I used them all the time and loved them.

    My little victory this morning was reaching for a raspberry crumb cake. Holding it for a good couple minutes, then putting it back. Yeah!!! I am so making your roll-ups, so I have something small to grab when I get the urge for a snack.
