Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz Cream cheese
- 1 cup Black beans (canned, rinsed, and drained)
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Salsa
- 2 tablespoons Green onions (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 4 pieces Large flour tortillas
- Optional toppings (e.g., guacamole, sour cream)
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese and salsa until smooth and well-blended.
Add the black beans, shredded cheddar cheese, green onions, cilantro, garlic powder, and ground cumin to the cream cheese mixture. Stir until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Place one flour tortilla on a flat work surface. Spread about 1/4 of the mixture evenly over the tortilla, leaving about 1 inch of space around the edges.
Tightly roll the tortilla from one end to the other, forming a log shape.
Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and filling.
Wrap each tortilla roll in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up and make slicing easier.
Once chilled, remove the plastic wrap and slice each roll into 1-inch pieces to create the spirals.
Arrange the spirals on a serving platter and optionally serve with guacamole, sour cream, or additional salsa as a dip.
