Easy Asparagus Appetizer
Ingredients
- 4 Large Tortillas
- Large bunch of asparagus approx 20
- 2 Large Cans of Chicken or 2-3 shredded breasts
- ½ C. Chopped Nuts
- ½ C. Craisins
- 4 oz of Regular Cream Cheese
- ½ container or so of Garden Vegetable Cream Cheese
- ¼ cup Mayo
- Garlic Powder
Instructions
- If you are cooking chicken breasts, get them cooked and shredded.
- Cook your asparagus to preferred state - You will want it a little crunchy!
- Chop your nut of choice.
- Combine the chicken, nuts, Craisins, Regular Cream Cheese, Garden Vegetable Cream Cheese, Mayo and Garlic Powder and mix by hand or in a mixer.
- Judge the taste to your preference.
- Adjust the amount of Garden Vegetable Cream Cheese and Garlic powder if needed. I like mine to have a little bit stronger taste.
- Strain the cooked asparagus good.
- Spread the chicken mixture evenly on a tortilla.
- Place the already cooked asparagus on the edge of the tortilla and roll the tortilla around the asparagus one turn.
- Place another asparagus on the tortilla and roll again.
- Repeat until the tortilla is all the way rolled. I usually fit 4-5 asparagus, per tortilla.
- Cover the rolled tortilla in plastic wrap or Press N' Seal.
- Refrigerate for 3-4 hours or overnight.
- To speed up the process, you can freeze for the first hour. Then cut the asparagus rolls into ½" (or so) pieces!
