Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Flour tortillas (10-inch)
- 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 0.25 cup Sour cream
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup Red bell pepper, finely diced
- 0.25 cup Green onions, finely chopped
- 0.25 cup Black olives, sliced
- 2 tablespoons Pickled jalapeños, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Pepper
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and sour cream until smooth and well blended.
Add the shredded cheddar cheese, diced red bell pepper, chopped green onions, sliced black olives, chopped pickled jalapeños, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper to the bowl. Mix everything thoroughly to evenly distribute the ingredients.
Lay a flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread an even layer of the cream cheese mixture over the entire surface of the tortilla, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges.
Carefully roll the tortilla tightly into a log, starting from one edge. Ensure the roll is tight to prevent the filling from falling out later.
Repeat the spreading and rolling process with the remaining tortillas and filling.
Wrap each rolled tortilla log in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up and make slicing easier.
Once chilled, unwrap the tortilla logs and use a sharp knife to slice them into 1-inch wheels.
Arrange the appetizer wheels on a serving platter and serve immediately, or refrigerate until ready to serve.
