Ingredients
Scale
- 8 large flour tortillas
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup hot pepper jelly
- 1/2 cup sliced bell peppers (red, yellow, or green)
- 1/2 cup sliced cucumbers
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese and hot pepper jelly. Stir until the mixture is smooth and evenly blended.
- Lay one tortilla flat on a clean work surface. Spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture evenly over the entire tortilla.
- Distribute sliced bell peppers and cucumbers evenly across the surface. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro and season lightly with salt and pepper.
- Starting from one edge, roll the tortilla tightly into a log shape. Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and filling.
- Wrap each rolled tortilla in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up for easier slicing.
- When ready to serve, remove the plastic wrap and slice each roll into bite-sized pinwheels. Arrange neatly on a serving platter and enjoy!
Notes
- Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened before mixing for the smoothest, most spreadable texture.
- For cleaner slices, use a sharp serrated knife and wipe it between cuts to prevent smearing.
- These roll-ups can be made a day in advance just keep them wrapped tightly and chilled until ready to slice and serve.
