Spicy Tortilla Roll Ups


Ingredients

  •  5 large flour tortillas, room temperature
  •  1/2 pound cheddar cheese or Monterey jack – shredded
  •  8 ounces cream cheese – softened
  •  8 ounces sour cream
  •  6 green onions chopped – stems and all
  •  4 ounces chopped green chilies- drained
  •  2-3 teaspoons chili powder
  •  Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Place cream cheese and sour cream in a large bowl. Using an electric mixer combine until blended. Stir in cheese, green onions, green chillies, and seasonings.
  2. Lay out the tortillas and divide the mixture evenly in the center of each one. Spread mixture fairly thin and evenly on tortillas to within 1/8 inch of edge.
  3. Tightly roll each tortilla up jelly-roll style and wrap each in plastic wrap.
  4. Refrigerate overnight (or at least 3-4 hours). When ready to serve, slice in 3/4 inch rounds and arrange on serving plate.
  5. Serve plain or with salsa.

Notes

  • The chill time allows the ingredients to “blend together” and makes them easier to slice.
  • I recommend slicing when you are ready to serve the roll-ups. The tortillas tend to dry out if rolls are unwrapped and sliced to early. If you do slices them ahead of time, be sure to keep them air-tight and in the refrigerator.
