Description
Taco Tortilla Roll Ups are a fun and flavorful appetizer perfect for any gathering!
Ingredients
Scale
- 227 g cream cheese, softened
- 113 g sour cream
- 170 g cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 tbsp taco seasoning
- 80 ml salsa (taco or picante sauce)
- 1–2 jalapenos, seeded and finely diced
- 15 g cilantro, finely chopped
- 170 g cooked chicken, shredded
- 6 flour tortillas, 20 cm (8 inch) diameter
Instructions
- In a large bowl, start by mixing together the softened cream cheese and sour cream until smooth. This will create a rich base for your roll ups. Next, incorporate the taco seasoning and salsa for that signature zesty flavor. Stir in the finely diced jalapenos for a little heat, followed by the shredded cheddar cheese, shredded chicken, and chopped cilantro. Ensure everything is well mixed and the filling is consistent throughout.
- Take one of your flour tortillas and lay it flat on a clean surface. Using a spatula, spread approximately two to three tablespoons of the filling evenly over the entire tortilla. Make sure not to overload it; just enough to cover the surface will suffice. Then, starting from one side, tightly roll the tortilla into a cylinder shape. Once rolled, place it seam-side down onto a plate. Repeat this process with your remaining tortillas and filling until everything is used up.
- Once all the tortillas are rolled, it’s time to let them chill! Cover your plate with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for at least two hours. This chilling time allows the flavors to meld beautifully and the rolls to firm up, making them easier to slice. After two hours, remove the rolls from the refrigerator. With a sharp knife, carefully slice off the ends of each roll for a clean look. Then cut the rolls into bite-sized pieces, suitable for serving. Arrange the delightful roll-ups on a platter and garnish with additional chopped cilantro, if desired.
