Instructions:
-
Prepare the Ingredients:
- Begin by gathering all the necessary ingredients: cream cheese, black olives, jalapeños, and tortillas. Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easier mixing.
-
Mix the Filling:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, drained black olives (chopped), and diced jalapeños. Adjust the amount of jalapeños based on your preferred level of spiciness. Mix everything together until well combined.
-
Assemble the Roll-Ups:
- Lay out a tortilla on a clean work surface. Spoon a generous amount of the cream cheese mixture onto the tortilla, spreading it evenly across the surface.
-
Roll Up the Tortillas:
- Carefully roll up the tortilla tightly, starting from one end and rolling towards the other. Ensure the filling is securely enclosed within the tortilla.
-
Slice the Roll-Ups:
- Using a sharp knife, slice the rolled-up tortilla into individual pieces, about 1-inch thick. Each tortilla should yield approximately 5-6 roll-ups, depending on the size.
-
Serve and Enjoy:
- Arrange the sliced roll-ups on a serving platter and garnish with additional jalapeños or black olives if desired. Serve alongside your favorite salsa or dipping sauce for an extra burst of flavor.
Tips:
- To add an extra layer of flavor, consider incorporating other ingredients such as diced green onions, shredded cheese, or diced tomatoes into the cream cheese mixture.
- For a milder version, you can substitute canned green chilies for the jalapeños.
- These roll-ups can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Simply cover them tightly with plastic wrap to prevent drying out.
- Experiment with different types of tortillas such as spinach or sun-dried tomato for added color and flavor variation.
