I made this recipe with non-fat cream cheese and lowfat 4-cheese Italian shredded cheese to make it more healthy. It was a great hit. Others wanted the recipe. I would recommend just mixing the softened cream cheese and shredded cheese as it just got all gummed up in the beater.

Yum! I added some chicken that was marinated in red pepper italian dressing. Everyone liked them. Used the grill to heat and brown the tortillas.

A great quick, easy, and tasty dish! To make it even healthier, only use a little cream cheese to cover the tortilla and skip the cheddar cheese...it'll still be cheesy and yummy!
