Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz Cream cheese, softened
- 4 oz Green chiles, canned and diced
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp Onion powder
- 0.25 tsp Ground cumin
- 2 tbsp Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
- 4 Large flour tortillas
Instructions
1. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, diced green chiles, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, ground cumin, and chopped cilantro (if using). Stir until thoroughly mixed and creamy.
2. Lay one flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread a thin and even layer of the cream cheese mixture over the entire tortilla, leaving about 1/4 inch of space around the edges.
3. Gently roll the tortilla up tightly into a log shape. Repeat this process for the remaining tortillas and cream cheese mixture.
4. Once all the tortillas are rolled, wrap each one in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the filling to firm up and make slicing easier.
5. After chilling, remove the plastic wrap from the tortillas. Using a sharp knife, slice each roll into 1-inch pinwheels.
6. Arrange the pinwheels on a platter and serve immediately. Optionally, garnish with extra cilantro or serve with salsa on the side for dipping.
