12 Servings

Ingredients

  • 4 –6 inch flour tortillas
  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 2 jalapeno peppers seeded, membranes removed, finely chopped
  • 1 cup cooked and crumbled bacon
  • Pinch of garlic salt or garlic powder
  • 2 –3 green onions finely chopped
  • 2 cups Pepper Jack cheese shredded

Instructions
 

Prepare the filling

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, chopped jalapeno peppers, cooked bacon, shredded Pepper Jack cheese, and garlic salt. Mix until evenly combined and smooth.

Assemble the roll ups

  1. Place one tortilla on a flat surface. Spread an even layer of the cream cheese mixture over the entire tortilla. Roll the tortilla tightly, keeping the edges tucked in, and place seam-side down on a plate. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.

Chill

  1. Cover the plate of rolled tortillas and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up, which makes slicing easier.

Slice and garnish

  1. Once chilled, slice each tortilla roll into ½ to ¾-inch sections. Arrange on a serving platter, sprinkling with chopped green onions and additional bacon if desired.

Serve

  1. Serve immediately as an appetizer or party snack.

Notes

To prepare these roll ups gluten-free, use certified gluten-free tortillas. Confirm that the cream cheese, garlic salt, and shredded cheese are gluten-free, as certain brands may include additives or cross-contamination risks.
