Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz Cream cheese
- 1 cup Candied jalapenos
- 2 tbsp Honey
- 6 medium-sized Flour tortillas
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 stalks Green onions (optional, finely chopped)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese and honey until smooth and creamy. Use a hand mixer or a sturdy spatula for even mixing.
Finely chop the candied jalapenos into smaller pieces for easier spreading, then fold them into the cream cheese mixture. Stir thoroughly to distribute the jalapenos evenly.
If using green onions, add them to the mixture along with the shredded cheddar cheese. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Lay one flour tortilla on a clean work surface. Spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture evenly across the tortilla, reaching the edges.
Tightly roll up the tortilla into a log shape. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and cream cheese mixture.
Once all tortillas are rolled, wrap each roll tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up.
After chilling, remove the plastic wrap and use a sharp knife to slice each roll into 3/4-inch thick pinwheels.
Arrange the rollups on a serving platter and optionally garnish with extra candied jalapeno slices or chopped green onions for presentation.
