Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 5 pieces Large flour tortillas
- 8 oz Cream cheese, softened
- 0.5 cups Sour cream
- 1 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 oz Canned diced green chilies, drained
- 0.5 cups Canned black beans, rinsed and drained
- 0.5 cups Corn kernels, fresh, frozen, or canned (drained)
- 0.25 cups Chopped cilantro
- 1 tbsp Taco seasoning
- 1 tbsp Fresh lime juice
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 1 tbsp Chopped jalapeño (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and sour cream. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Add the shredded cheddar cheese, diced green chilies, black beans, corn, cilantro, taco seasoning, lime juice, salt, and chopped jalapeño (if using) into the bowl. Mix well to evenly incorporate all ingredients.
Spread a thin and even layer of the prepared mixture across one tortilla, leaving about a 1/2-inch border around the edges.
Tightly roll up the tortilla into a log. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and filling.
Place the rolled tortillas seam-side down on a plate or tray and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow them to firm up for easier slicing.
Once chilled, remove the rolled tortillas from the refrigerator. Using a sharp knife, trim the edges and cut each roll into 1-inch thick pinwheels.
Arrange the pinwheels on a serving platter and serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
