The full recipe is presented here and I hope you enjoy this classic American version of: Rich and Dark Christmas Cake.
Beat the cream cheese in a large bowl until soft, then fold in the chicken, grated cheese, coriander leaves, jalapeño chillies and ground cumin.
Mix well to combine, then spread this mixture evenly over the tortillas.
Roll each tortilla up tightly to form a spiral around the chicken mixture.
Wrap tightly in clingfilm (plastic wrap) then transfer to the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours.
Just before serving unwrap the tortillas and use a sharp knife to cut into 1/5cm long slices.
Arrange the spirals on a greased baking tray, brush with oil then transfer to an oven pre-heated to 170°C and bake for about 15 minutes, or until lightly browned.
Serve hot with salsa, sour cream and/or guacamole.
