Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup salsa
- 1 packet taco seasoning mix
- 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)
Other
- 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: Mix in shredded cheddar cheese, diced tomatoes, green onions, cilantro, and black olives (if using) until everything is evenly combined for a flavorful filling.
- Assemble the Roll-Ups: Spread a generous amount of the filling evenly over each flour tortilla, making sure to leave a small border around the edges for easy rolling.
- Roll Up: Tightly roll each tortilla from one end to the other to hold the filling securely. Repeat with all the 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 roll-ups to set and flavors to meld.
- Serve: Unwrap and slice the chilled roll-ups into 1-inch thick rounds using a sharp knife. Arrange bite-sized rounds on a platter and serve chilled for best taste and texture.
Notes
- For an extra kick, add finely chopped jalapeños to the filling.
- Use whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas to accommodate dietary preferences.
- The roll-ups can be made a day ahead and stored covered in the refrigerator.
- Serve with additional salsa or sour cream on the side for dipping.
- Optional black olives add a briny flavor but can be omitted if preferred.
