Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup salsa
- 1 packet taco seasoning mix
Toppings and Add-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 to create the flavorful base of the roll-ups.
- Add Toppings: Stir in shredded cheddar cheese, diced tomatoes, green onions, chopped cilantro, and sliced black olives (if using), ensuring an even distribution throughout the mixture for a colorful, tasty filling.
- Assemble the Roll-Ups: Spread a generous amount of the filling evenly over each flour tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges to make rolling easier and prevent filling from spilling out.
- Roll Up: Carefully and tightly roll each tortilla from one end to the other to form a compact roll. Repeat this process with all remaining tortillas and filling.
- Chill and Slice: Place all 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 the roll-ups to firm up.
- Serve: Remove the rolls from the refrigerator and unwrap. Using a sharp knife, slice each roll into 1-inch thick rounds. Arrange the rounds on a platter and serve chilled as a delicious appetizer or snack.
Notes
- For best results, use softened cream cheese to ensure a smooth filling.
- Feel free to substitute the salsa with your favorite type or heat level to customize the flavor.
- Black olives are optional but add a nice salty contrast.
- These roll-ups can be prepared a day ahead and stored refrigerated, covered tightly to preserve freshness.
- Use a serrated or very sharp knife to slice cleanly without squishing the roll-ups.
