These cheesy chicken tortilla roll-ups are extremely easy — perfect for hungry kids or a quick after-school snack. Just follow the steps below and you’ll have a warm, crispy, melty roll-up ready in minutes. Step 1 — Add Chicken & Cheese Place a tortilla on a flat surface. Add a handful of shredded chicken to the center and sprinkle a generous amount of melty cheese on top. Make sure the filling is placed in a straight line — this makes rolling easier. Step 2 — Roll It Tightly Roll the tortilla tightly into a log shape. The tighter the roll, the crispier and cleaner the slices will be. Press gently with your fingers so the filling stays inside. Step 3 — Toast Until Crispy Place the roll-up in a preheated non-stick pan over medium heat. Toast for 1–2 minutes per side until golden and crispy. The cheese melts inside and the outside gets perfectly crunchy — kids LOVE this texture! Why Kids Love These Roll-Ups Soft on the inside, crispy on the outside, and full of melty cheese — these roll-ups are perfect for picky eaters and quick snacks. ← Back to Page 1 Next → Page 3 Serving Ideas & Extra Tips These crispy cheesy roll-ups are delicious on their own, but here are a few fun ways to make them even better for kids: Serve with ketchup, ranch, or cheese dip. Cut into mini bite-sized pieces for toddlers. Add a thin layer of tomato sauce for a “pizza roll-up” version. Use whole-wheat tortillas for a healthier option. Storage & Reheating These roll-ups are best when fresh, but you can still store leftovers safely: Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 24 hours. Reheat in a pan or air-fryer for 2–3 minutes. Avoid microwaving — it makes the tortilla soft, not crispy. Frequently Asked Questions ❓ Can I use leftover chicken? Absolutely! Leftover shredded chicken works perfectly. ❓ What cheese melts best? Mozzarella, cheddar, or a mix of both. ❓ Can I make them ahead of time? Yes — roll them up and keep in the fridge, then toast when needed. Want More Easy Kids Recipes? Try this sweet and fun snack kids absolutely love — ready in just minutes!
