Ingredients

• 8 large Flour tortillas
• 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
• 0.5 cups Sour cream
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 4-ounce can Diced green chilies
• 0.5 cups Salsa
• 4 stalks Green onions, finely chopped
• 0.25 cups Cilantro, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon Cumin
• 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Black olives, finely chopped (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and sour cream. Mix until smooth and creamy.

Step 2

Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, diced green chilies, salsa, green onions, cilantro, cumin, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black olives (if using). Mix well to evenly distribute all ingredients.

Step 3

Lay one flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread about 3–4 tablespoons of the filling evenly over the tortilla, leaving about 1/2 inch of space along the edges.

Step 4

Carefully roll up the tortilla tightly, starting from one end. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.

Step 5

Wrap each rolled tortilla in plastic wrap to help maintain its shape. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 24 hours to let the flavors meld.

Step 6

When ready to serve, unwrap the rolls and use a sharp knife to slice each roll into 1-inch thick pieces.

Step 7

Arrange the roll-ups on a serving platter and serve chilled or at room temperature. Enjoy!
