Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces large flour tortillas
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 0.5 cup salsa (mild, medium, or hot based on preference)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 3 stalks green onions, finely chopped
- 0.33 cup black olives, sliced
- 2 tablespoons cilantro, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon cumin powder
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and salsa. Mix until smooth and well incorporated.
Add the shredded cheddar cheese, green onions, black olives, cilantro, cumin powder, and lime juice to the cream cheese mixture. Stir until evenly combined.
Lay a flour tortilla flat on a clean work surface.
Spread a thin, even layer of the salsa mixture over the tortilla, leaving about 1 inch of space around the edges to prevent overflow.
Carefully roll up the tortilla tightly into a log shape. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and filling.
Wrap each tortilla log in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the filling to firm up and the flavors to meld.
Once chilled, carefully unwrap the tortilla logs and slice them into 1-inch thick pinwheels using a sharp knife.
Arrange the salsa wheels on a platter and serve immediately. Optionally, garnish with extra cilantro or a side of salsa for dipping.
