THE BEST MEXICAN TORTILLA ROLL UPS



The Best Mexican Tortilla Roll Ups image

I am requested to make these all the time. They are easy, and people LOVE them. I developed this over the years to suit our tastes. There are recipes close to this one, but I like mine best! The amount of tortillas you need will depend on how thick you spread the mixture. I like them thick. Zaar wont let me list the chilies, olives and pimentos correctly. But I buy the small can of each. They are already chopped small, so they mix in well with the cream cheese.

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest tortillas possible. Stale tortillas will crack and break when you roll them up, so it's important to use fresh tortillas that are pliable and easy to work with.
  • Warm the tortillas before rolling them up. This will make them even more pliable and less likely to crack. You can warm the tortillas in a skillet over medium heat for a few seconds on each side, or you can wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave them for 10-15 seconds.
  • Don't overfill the tortillas. If you put too much filling in the tortillas, they will be difficult to roll up and they may break. Aim for a thin layer of filling that is evenly distributed across the tortilla.
  • Be careful when rolling up the tortillas. Roll them up tightly, but not so tightly that they crack. You should be able to see the filling through the tortilla, but it shouldn't be spilling out.
  • Secure the tortillas with toothpicks or skewers. This will help to keep them from unrolling, especially if you are planning to cook them in the oven or on the grill.

Conclusion:

Mexican tortilla roll-ups are a delicious and versatile dish that can be made with a variety of fillings. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, and picnics, and they can also be served as a main course or a snack. With a little planning and preparation, you can easily make delicious tortilla roll-ups that everyone will love.
