Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup salsa
- 1 packet taco seasoning mix
Add-Ins and Toppings
- 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)
Wrap
- 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 creamy, ensuring all ingredients are well combined for a consistent base.
- Add Toppings: Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, diced tomatoes, green onions, chopped cilantro, and sliced black olives (if using), mixing thoroughly to evenly distribute the flavors and textures throughout the filling.
- Assemble the Roll-Ups: Lay out each large flour tortilla flat and spread a generous amount of the filling evenly over it, leaving about a 1-inch border around the edges to prevent overflow when rolling.
- Roll Up: Starting from one end, tightly roll each tortilla into a log shape, ensuring a firm roll to keep the filling intact. Repeat this step with the remaining tortillas and filling.
- Chill and Slice: Place the rolled tortillas seam side down on a plate or baking sheet. Cover them with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the filling to set and make slicing easier.
- Serve: Remove the chill wraps from the fridge. Using a sharp knife, slice each roll-up into 1-inch thick rounds. Arrange the slices on a serving platter and serve chilled as appetizers or snacks.
Notes
- For best results, use softened cream cheese to ensure a smooth filling.
- Feel free to customize the filling by adding jalapeños for extra heat or substituting cheddar with pepper jack cheese for a different flavor profile.
- These roll-ups can be made a day ahead and stored covered in the refrigerator for convenience.
- Use flour tortillas that are soft and pliable to avoid cracking when rolling.
- If desired, garnish the plated roll-ups with extra cilantro or a drizzle of salsa or sour cream before serving.
