Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup finely diced red bell pepper
- ½ cup finely chopped black olives
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
Wrap
- 4 large flour tortillas (burrito size)
For Serving
- Salsa or guacamole for dipping
Instructions
- Prepare the filling: In a medium bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and taco seasoning until the mixture is smooth and well combined, ensuring the seasoning is evenly distributed.
- Add vegetables and cheese: Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, diced red bell pepper, chopped black olives, and sliced green onions, folding the ingredients gently until evenly mixed throughout the creamy base.
- Spread the mixture on tortillas: Lay out the flour tortillas on a flat surface and spread an even layer of the prepared filling over each tortilla, leaving a ½-inch border around the edges to prevent spillage when rolling.
- Roll the tortillas tightly: Carefully roll each tortilla up tightly from one side to the other, creating a compact log of filling and tortilla.
- Chill to firm up: Wrap each rolled tortilla individually in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the filling to set and the rolls to become firm and easier to slice.
- Slice and serve: Once chilled, unwrap the rolls and slice each into approximately ¾-inch pieces to create bite-sized roll-ups. Arrange them on a platter and serve with salsa or guacamole on the side for dipping.
Notes
- Perfect for parties, game days, or easy lunchboxes.
- Add diced cooked chicken or ground beef to the filling for a heartier snack.
- Use whole wheat or spinach tortillas for added color, fiber, and nutrition.
