Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup salsa
- 1 packet taco seasoning mix
Mix-ins
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/2 cup diced green onions
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
- 1/2 cup sliced black olives (optional)
Assembly
- 8-10 large flour tortillas
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, blend the softened cream cheese, sour cream, salsa, and taco seasoning mix until smooth and well combined.
- Add Toppings: Stir in shredded cheddar cheese, diced tomatoes, green onions, cilantro, and black olives (if using), ensuring the mixture is evenly mixed.
- Assemble the Roll-Ups: Evenly spread a generous amount of the filling over each flour tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges to help with rolling.
- Roll Up: Starting from one end, tightly roll each tortilla into a log shape. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and filling.
- Chill and Slice: Place the rolled tortillas seam side down on a plate or baking sheet. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the filling to set and make slicing easier.
- Serve: Using a sharp knife, slice the chilled roll-ups into 1-inch thick rounds. Arrange on a serving platter and serve chilled as a delicious appetizer or snack.
Notes
- For best results, use softened cream cheese to ensure a smooth filling consistency.
- Chilling the roll-ups is crucial as it helps them hold their shape when sliced.
- Black olives are optional; feel free to omit or substitute with jalapeños for extra spice.
- These roll-ups can be made a day in advance and kept refrigerated until ready to serve.
- Serve with extra salsa or sour cream for dipping if desired.
