Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup finely diced red bell pepper
- ½ cup finely chopped black olives
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
Assembly
- 4 large flour tortillas (burrito size)
- Salsa or guacamole for dipping
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and taco seasoning until smooth and well combined, ensuring there are no lumps and the mixture is creamy.
- Add Mix-ins: Stir in shredded cheddar cheese, diced red bell pepper, chopped black olives, and thinly sliced green onions until evenly distributed throughout the creamy base.
- Spread the Mixture: Lay out the four large flour tortillas flat on a clean surface, and evenly spread the prepared cheese and veggie mixture over each tortilla, leaving a ½-inch border around the edges to prevent overflow when rolling.
- Roll the Tortillas: Starting from one edge, roll each tortilla up tightly to form compact log shapes that will hold their shape when sliced.
- Chill to Set: Wrap each rolled tortilla tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the filling to firm up, making slicing easier and maintaining structure.
- Slice and Serve: Once chilled, unwrap the rolls and slice each into approximately ¾-inch pieces to create bite-sized roll-ups. Arrange them on a serving platter and serve alongside salsa or guacamole for dipping.
Notes
- Great for parties, game days, or lunchboxes as a convenient and tasty snack.
- For a heartier version, add diced cooked chicken or ground beef to the filling mixture.
- Substitute whole wheat or spinach tortillas to add more color and nutritional value.
- Make ahead the night before and keep refrigerated until serving to save time.
- Ensure the cream cheese is softened for easier mixing and a smoother filling texture.
