Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large Flour tortillas
- 8 oz Cream cheese, softened
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 1 cup Shredded Mexican cheese blend
- 4 oz Canned diced green chilies, drained
- 0.5 cup Chopped black olives
- 0.5 cup Diced red bell pepper
- 0.25 cup Chopped green onions
- 2 tbsp Cilantro, chopped
- 1 tsp Ground cumin
- 1 tsp Chili powder
- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
- 0.25 tsp Salt
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and sour cream. Mix until smooth and creamy using a hand mixer or a whisk.
Add the shredded Mexican cheese blend, diced green chilies, black olives, red bell pepper, green onions, cilantro, ground cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, and salt to the bowl. Stir until all ingredients are evenly combined.
Lay one flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread a thin, even layer of the cream cheese mixture across the entire tortilla, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges.
Starting from one edge, tightly roll the tortilla into a log. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and filling.
Place the rolled tortillas onto a plate or tray and cover them with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up the filling and make slicing easier.
After chilling, use a sharp knife to trim the ends of each roll and then slice the rolls into 1-inch thick pinwheels.
Arrange the tortilla roll ups on a serving platter and enjoy immediately, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
