Expert Tips

• Shredded Cheese – We recommend shredded the cheese yourself instead of using pre shredded cheese. It taste better and there is no added ingredients.
• Cream Cheese – We recommend to use softened cream cheese to make the spread. It blends easy and helps to keep the spread soft and creamy.
• Tortilla – We like to use the burrito size tortillas when making this recipe. It is large and allow you to get multiple roll ups out of it.
• Wrap in Plastic – Make sure after rolling the tortilla up in with the cream cheese filling, that you wrap it in plastic.
• Slicing Rolls Ups –Slice the tortilla rounds about ¾ inch thick rounds. This is the perfect size for serving as an appetizer.

Variations Ideas

• Add Meat – Add diced up ham or turkey with the cream cheese mixture for a delicious bite size sandwich. This makes a perfect size sandwich for little kids.
• Seasoning – Feel free to change the seasoning. You can mix in taco seasoning for a Mexican Pinwheel option. This would be perfect if you are going to a Mexican themed dinner. Mexican tortilla roll ups is a delicious appetizer.
• Beans – If you would like to add in some protein, you can mix in some black beans for added flavor. This is a great option if you are looking for a meatless option.
• Cheese – We used cheddar cheese in this recipe, but you can use pepper jack cheese or colby monterrey jack cheese.
• Vegetables – If you have some leftover vegetables, dice them up in small pieces and mixed them in with the cream cheese mixture. I love to mix chopped broccoli, chopped cauliflower or red bell peppers.
• Tortilla – There are many options at the store for tortillas. They have low carb options, whole wheat, or flavored tortilla. They are many to choose from to make within your diet restriction.
