Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 packs cream cheese (softened)
- 1 pack burrito-size tortillas
- 1 pack taco seasoning
Protein and Vegetable Components:
- 1 can rotel (mostly drained)
Cheese Topping:
- Fiesta cheese
Instructions
- Prepare cream cheese mixture in a mixing bowl, whipping until smooth and creamy using an electric mixer for optimal texture.
- Lay out soft tortillas on a clean, flat surface and evenly spread the prepared cream cheese mixture across each tortilla’s surface.
- Generously distribute taco seasoning and shredded fiesta cheese blend over the cream cheese layer, ensuring even coverage.
- Carefully roll each tortilla tightly into a compact cylindrical shape, pressing gently to seal the ingredients inside.
- Place the rolled tortillas in the refrigerator for approximately 30 minutes to firm up, which helps maintain their shape and makes slicing more precise.
- Remove chilled rolls from refrigerator and slice into bite-sized rounds using a sharp knife, wiping the blade between cuts for clean edges.
- Arrange the taco rolls on a serving platter and refrigerate until ready to serve, allowing flavors to meld and texture to set.
Notes
- Chill the rolled tortillas for at least 30 minutes to help them set and make slicing cleaner and more precise.
- Use room temperature cream cheese for smoother spreading and easier mixing with other ingredients.
- Opt for soft flour tortillas as they roll more easily without cracking compared to corn tortillas.
- Customize filling by adding diced jalapeños, chopped cilantro, or swapping fiesta cheese with cheddar for different flavor profiles.
