Tortilla Roll-Up Recipes

To avoid the confusion of several different recipe posts, I'm just going to go ahead and post all our tortilla roll-up recipes together here. The first two will be the new roll-ups I tried for baby niece's shower (and they were a huge hit!), the third is the tried-and-true recipe I've made for almost every family gathering for...well, years.

SPINACH DIP ROLL-UPS
Ingredients

• 8 oz. cream cheese, softened (I microwave mine for about 40 seconds)
• 3/4 cup mayo
• 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese (I'm convinced either the dry spaghetti shake stuff or the fresh grated Parmesan would both be fine. I used the dry stuff.)
• 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
• 1 tsp. lemon juice (I used the juice of half a lemon)
• 10 oz. frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed of liquid
• 4 oz. roasted red bell peppers, drained and diced
• 3 oz. bacon bits (I used about 4-6 slices of bacon, crumbled)
• 4 (10 inch) flour tortillas (I used the jalapeño and sun dried tomato flavored shells)

Directions

In a large bowl, combine cream cheese, mayo, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and lemon juice; mix well. Stir in spinach, roasted bell peppers, and bacon bits.

Spread the mixture on tortillas, distributing evenly. Roll up in jelly roll fashion. (Here it says to wrap each in plastic wrap and chill for 1-2 hours....(I always skip this step to save time, but I'm sure it would help keep the rolls intact when you're slicing them.)

Cut each roll into 1/2 inch thick slices and serve.

BACON CHEDDAR RANCH ROLL-UPS
Ingredients

• 8 oz. cream cheese, softened
• 1/4 cup ranch dressing
• 1/2 cup finely shredded cheddar
• 6 pieces of bacon, cooked and crumbled
• 1 tsp. minced chives or green onion top (I had neither so I minced about 1/8 cup red onion)
• 3-4 (10 inch) flour tortilla (again I used the jalapeño and sun dried tomato flavored shells)

Directions

In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese and ranch dressing. Mix until smooth.
Stir in cheddar cheese, bacon, and chives (or onions).
Spread in a generous layer over tortillas.
Roll tightly and slice into 1 inch pieces.

JALAPEÑO TORTILLA ROLL-UPS
Ingredients

• 8 oz. cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup sour cream
• 4 oz. diced jalapeños
• 3+ Tbsp. minced green onion
• 4 oz. minced black olives
• 12 oz. finely grated cheddar
• 8 (10 inch) flour tortillas

Directions

In a medium bowl, mix cream cheese, sour cream, jalapeños, green onions, olives, and cheddar cheese well.

Spread mixture evenly onto tortillas and roll up. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and chill for 2 hours or overnight (again, I always skip this step).

Cut each roll into 1/2 inch slices.

Can be served with salsa or picante sauce.

Enjoy!
