The smooth cream cheese pairs perfectly with the zesty kick of hot pepper jelly, while crisp bell peppers and cucumbers add a refreshing crunch. These bite-sized delights are a crowd-pleasing favorite that come together quickly and can be made ahead perfect for busy hosts or spontaneous gatherings.


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

  1. In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese and hot pepper jelly. Stir until the mixture is smooth and evenly blended.
  2. Lay one tortilla flat on a clean work surface. Spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture evenly over the entire tortilla.
  3. Distribute sliced bell peppers and cucumbers evenly across the surface. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro and season lightly with salt and pepper.
  4. Starting from one edge, roll the tortilla tightly into a log shape. Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and filling.
  5. Wrap each rolled tortilla in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up for easier slicing.
  6. 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

  1. Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened before mixing for the smoothest, most spreadable texture.
  2. For cleaner slices, use a sharp serrated knife and wipe it between cuts to prevent smearing.
  3. These roll-ups can be made a day in advance just keep them wrapped tightly and chilled until ready to slice and serve.
