Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 12 oz flour tortillas about 5 large (10-inch)
  • 12 oz cream cheese softened
  • 0.33 cup sour cream
  • 1.5 cup shredded sharp cheddar
  • 0.5 cup chopped pickled jalapeños drained
  • 0.33 cup sliced green onions
  • 0.25 cup chopped fresh cilantro optional
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 0.5 tsp garlic powder
  • 0.5 tsp onion powder
  • 0.25 tsp ground cumin
  • 0.5 tsp kosher salt to taste
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Stir cream cheese, sour cream, and lime juice in a bowl until smooth and creamy.
  • Season the mixture with garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  • Fold in cheddar, jalapeños, green onions, and cilantro until evenly distributed.
  • Lay out the tortillas. Spread a thin, even layer of filling over each, leaving a 1/2-inch border.
  • Roll each tortilla up tightly. Wrap rolls in plastic and chill until firm, about 20 minutes.
  • Trim the ends, then slice into 1-inch pinwheels with a serrated knife. Serve chilled.

Notes

Variation: Swap cheddar for pepper jack or add crisp bacon bits for extra savoriness. For a milder bite, use half jalapeños and half diced roasted bell pepper. Try spinach or sun-dried tomato tortillas for color.
Make-ahead tip: Roll and chill up to 24 hours; slice just before serving. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
