Receta Tangy Chicken Roll-Ups
These are excellent finger foods, perfect for parties! The tang of lime and cream cheese combines with the chicken and veggies to create a snack that will dominate the appetizer section and have your guests oohing and ahhing over your cooking skills. The best part? They’re SUPER simple. As in, your 6 year old can make them. And that’s what we’re all about here at Gourmet Mama, fast, impressive foods you don’t have to be a kitchen genius to figure out.
These roll-ups are best made ahead of time, since they need to chill, but this means you can have the party food ready to go the day before the party!
