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
Tortillas
- 6 medium flour tortillas
Instructions
- Prepare Cream Cheese Mixture: In a medium bowl, mix together the cream cheese, sour cream, and lime juice until smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps.
- Add Flavorings: Fold in the diced chipotle peppers, chopped black olives, finely shredded cheddar cheese, and sliced green onions until all ingredients are well combined and evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Assemble Roll Ups: Lay a flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture evenly over the tortilla, leaving a small border at the edges. Roll the tortilla up tightly into a log shape. Repeat this process for all remaining tortillas.
- Chill: Wrap the rolled tortillas or place them in an airtight container and refrigerate for two hours to allow the flavors to meld and for easier slicing.
- Slice and Serve: After chilling, remove the rolls from the refrigerator and slice each tortilla roll into 8 even pieces. Arrange on a serving platter and serve immediately as an appetizer or snack.
