π€·π»ββοΈ Recipe FAQ
Start by spreading the soft cream cheese mixed with the other ingredients on top of the tortilla. Add other ingredients, for example, spinach or dill leaves, then roll tightly from the bottom of the tortilla to the top. Do not squeeze tight enough that the filling runs out the sides.
Wrap the filled tortillas in saran wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate for at least an hour before cutting into rounds.
To soften the cream cheese, either let it sit on the counter for a few hours, or place it in a microwave-safe bowl, cover it lightly, and microwave it for 30 seconds.
π©πΌβπ³ Professional advice
- The wheels are great for a last minute snack and the perfect side dish to take to a gathering or dinner party. But what do you do if you don’t have smoked salmon in the fridge? How about using shrimp or even chicken. Another option is to make them vegetarian and skip the meat altogether!
- Alternatives to cream cheese include goat cheese, shredded cheddar, or even laughing cow triangles.
- There are also numerous vegetable options. Why not add black olives, diced cucumbers, diced tomatoes and chives?
- A good way to get ideas is to choose a theme, for example Italian. Then simply use ingredients commonly found in Italian food such as basil, black olives, artichoke hearts and sun-dried tomatoes.
