Tortilla Roll-Ups

by Diana Rattray

These tortilla roll-ups are a popular pinwheel-style appetizer for parties and gatherings. The rolls are filled with a savory cream cheese and sour cream mixture with ripe olives, cheddar cheese, and chile peppers. Serve them with salsa, homemade or purchased.

Recipe Variations

• Tortillas – Use low carb tortillas or flavored tortillas or wraps, such as spinach, tomato basil, jalapeño cheddar, or whole wheat.
• Cheese – Replace the shredded cheddar cheese with pepper jack or a Mexican blend of cheeses.
• Meat – Try adding finely chopped bacon or ham for smoky flavor.
• Nuts – Chopped pecans or walnuts can add extra texture and crunch.
• Peppers – Instead of mild chile peppers, use minced pickled or fresh jalapeño peppers.
• Pimientos – Add chopped pimientos or roasted red pepper to a pop of color.
• Flavors – Experiment with spices and seasonings, such as cumin, taco seasoning, garlic powder, chives, and chopped cilantro.
