Tortilla Roll ups

Tortilla Roll ups

Why is Tortilla called as Tortilla?

The Spaniards named them Tortilla because they were similar to the crisp circular fried cake known in the Spanish heritage as the “Tortillita”.
With Holidays, Summer vacations, picnic, outings and parties coming up, I thought of sharing these beautiful, yummy and super easy to make party snack.

One of my favorite reason about these Tortilla roll ups is that they are best made much ahead of time, saving up the last minute party preparations and slicing it up just before serving!!!

Ingredients:

Tortilla wraps large sized

225 gms Cream Cheese

225 gms Cream

Garlic powder to taste

3 cups Sharp Cheddar cheese

1 cup chopped Spring Onions

1 cup chopped Olives (Green and black)

1 cup Capsicum diced (color of your choice)

1 teaspoon Paprika powder

1 teaspoon Pepper powder

1 teaspoon oil

Salt to taste

Method:

 1. Heat oil in a pan and sauté the diced capsicum till they are little soft but still crunchy.

 
2. In a bowl mix well cream cheese and cream.

3. Add the cheese and sprinkle some garlic powder.

 4. Now add chopped spring onions, olives, capsicum, paprika powder, pepper powder, salt and mix it well.

5. Spread cheese mixture on each of the tortillas.

6. Roll up tortillas tightly and wrap them in cling wrap tightly.

7. Place the tortilla roll ups in the refrigerator for overnight.
8. Right before serving slice up the tortilla rolls in 1” slice and serve them. I have kept the wax paper in between the roll ups.

Note:

• This is veggie version of tortillas but can always experiment with it by adding shredded chicken or crab meat.
• Tortilla roll ups needs to be chilled for minimum 3 hours before serving. But overnight refrigeration is the best.
•  The best thing about this appetizer, is that it can be made much ahead of time and kept in refrigerator till the guests arrives.
• Adding of paprika powder is completely on ones taste buds; you can always keep it as per your taste.
