Instructions:

Combine Cream Cheese and Cocktail Sauce:
Begin by placing the softened cream cheese in a medium-sized bowl. Add the cocktail sauce and mix thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well-combined. This creates the flavorful base for your crabmeat mixture. -
Incorporate Crabmeat and Cheese:
Gently fold the cooked crabmeat, shredded Swiss cheese, and finely chopped green onions into the cream cheese mixture. Ensure everything is evenly distributed to achieve a balanced flavor in each bite. -
Prepare Tortillas:
Lay out the flour tortillas on a clean surface. Evenly spread approximately 1/2 cup of the crabmeat mixture over each tortilla, ensuring you cover the entire surface for consistent flavor in every roll-up. -
Roll and Chill:
Carefully roll up each tortilla tightly, starting from one end and rolling towards the opposite end. Once rolled, wrap each tortilla in plastic wrap to maintain freshness. Refrigerate the wrapped tortillas overnight to allow the flavors to meld and make slicing easier. -
Slice and Serve:
After the roll-ups have chilled, unwrap them and slice into 1/2-inch thick circles. Arrange the slices on a serving platter. Serve with a bowl of cocktail sauce for dipping, which complements the roll-ups perfectly and adds an extra layer of flavor.
Enjoy these Crabmeat Roll-Ups as a versatile appetizer that’s sure to impress your guests with minimal effort. Whether you’re hosting a casual get-together or a more formal event, these roll-ups are a delicious addition to any spread. 🌟🎉
