Ingredients

• 8 oz Cream cheese
• 1 cup Black beans (canned, rinsed, and drained)
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup Salsa
• 2 tablespoons Green onions (chopped)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (chopped)
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 4 pieces Large flour tortillas
• 0 Optional toppings (e.g., guacamole, sour cream)

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese and salsa until smooth and well-blended.

Step 2

Add the black beans, shredded cheddar cheese, green onions, cilantro, garlic powder, and ground cumin to the cream cheese mixture. Stir until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.

Step 3

Place one flour tortilla on a flat work surface. Spread about 1/4 of the mixture evenly over the tortilla, leaving about 1 inch of space around the edges.

Step 4

Tightly roll the tortilla from one end to the other, forming a log shape.

Step 5

Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and filling.

Step 6

Wrap each tortilla roll in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up and make slicing easier.

Step 7

Once chilled, remove the plastic wrap and slice each roll into 1-inch pieces to create the spirals.

Step 8

Arrange the spirals on a serving platter and optionally serve with guacamole, sour cream, or additional salsa as a dip.
