Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 1/4 cup finely chopped bell pepper (any color)
- 1/4 cup chopped black olives (optional)
- 1/2 cup cooked and crumbled bacon (optional)
- 1/2 cup chopped cooked chicken (optional)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 large flour tortillas
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, and sour cream. Mix until smooth and well combined.
- Add the chopped green onions, bell pepper, black olives (if using), bacon (if using), and chicken (if using). Stir to incorporate all ingredients evenly.
- Season the mixture with garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Adjust the seasonings to taste.
- Lay out a flour tortilla on a clean, flat surface. Spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture evenly over the tortilla, leaving about a 1/2 inch border around the edges.
- Starting from one end, tightly roll up the tortilla. Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and filling.
- Once all the tortillas are rolled, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. This will make them easier to slice and help the flavors meld together.
- After chilling, remove the tortillas from the refrigerator and unwrap them. Use a sharp knife to slice each roll into 1-inch pieces.
- Arrange the tortilla roll ups on a serving platter and serve immediately or store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
A Sorceress Comes to Call
This mesmerizing tale follows a sorceress who arrives in a small town, bringing with her a swirl of mysteries and enchantments that challenge the residents' views. As she unravels the village's secret past, her story intertwines with their lives, questioning the values of trust, power, and identity.
From New York Times bestselling and Hugo Award-winning author T. Kingfisher comes a dark retelling of the Brothers Grimm's Goose Girl, rife with secrets, murder, and forbidden magic. Perfect for fans of Naomi Novic, Alix E. Harrow and Nettle & Bone. Cordelia knows her mother is unusual. Their house doesn't have any doors between rooms―there are no secrets in this house!―Cordelia isn't allowed to have a single friend. Unless you count Falada, her mother's beautiful white horse. The only time Cordelia feels truly free is on her daily rides with him. But more than a few quirks set her mother apart. Other parents can't force their daughters to be silent and motionless―obedient―for hours or days on end. Other mothers aren't . . . sorcerers.
