Ingredients
Scale
Cheese Mixture
- 8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
- ½ cup sour cream, room temperature
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 3 chipotle peppers packed in adobo sauce, diced
- ½ cup chopped black olives
- 1 cup finely shredded cheddar cheese
- 3 green onions, sliced thinly
Other
- 6 medium flour tortillas
Instructions
- Prepare the cheese mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, and lime juice. Mix thoroughly until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy, ensuring even flavor and texture.
- Add the flavorings: Stir in the diced chipotle peppers, chopped black olives, shredded cheddar cheese, and sliced green onions into the cream cheese mixture. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Assemble the roll ups: Lay out each flour tortilla and spread a generous layer of the cheese mixture evenly over the surface. Roll each tortilla tightly to secure the filling inside.
- Chill the roll ups: Place the rolled tortillas in the refrigerator and chill for 2 hours. This allows the flavors to meld and the mixture to firm up, making slicing easier.
- Slice and serve: After chilling, slice each rolled tortilla into 8 bite-sized pieces. Arrange on a serving plate and serve chilled as a delicious appetizer or snack.
Notes
- Ensure the cream cheese and sour cream are at room temperature for easy mixing.
- Adjust the number of chipotle peppers to taste for desired spiciness.
- These roll ups can be made a day ahead and kept refrigerated.
- Use a sharp knife to slice the roll ups cleanly and prevent squishing.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute flour tortillas with gluten-free tortillas.
