Ingredients
These easy to find ingredients make a flavor-packed tortilla pinwheel appetizer.
Ingredient Notes:
Cream cheese: Room temperature full fat cream cheese works best for this recipe.
Sour Cream: Room temperature sour cream will mix in to the cream cheese more easily.
Lime juice: One half of a medium size lime is the perfect amount of juice for this recipe.
Green Onions: Thinly slice them so they can evenly mix in the filling.
Cheese: Finely shredded cheese works best in the recipe. We used cheddar cheese, but a Mexican blend would work great too.
Chipotle Peppers: You can manage the heat level easily. If you want it spicier, keep the seeds in otherwise scrape the seeds out for a milder heat level.
Instructions
Mix the cream cheese, sour cream and lime juice until smooth and then add the rest of the ingredients and stir to combine.
Spread a thin layer of the cheese mixture on the tortilla and roll it up tightly.
Chill them well and slice with a sharp knife into 8 equal pieces and serve!
Expert Tips
✘ Chop your mix-ins in small, uniform sizes so you can get even distribution throughout the roll up.
✘ Chill them well and use a sharp knife to get clean cuts.
✘ These roll ups taste best if eaten within a day or two of making them otherwise the tortillas get soggy.
