Mexican Roll Ups
These Mexican roll ups are the perfect appetizer for any party or game day event!
Roll ups are so easy to make and serve as an appetizer at any get together or party. Everyone loves a roll-up. I think they are the world’s best finger food. Roll up are also sometimes referred to as pinwheels.
You can make roll ups with such a large variety of fillings. I love this one with cream cheese, sour cream, taco seasoning, green chilis, black olives, cheese and salsa! Only a few ingredients and so easy to make.
You can’t go wrong when serving these delicious Mexican pinwheels. Pack them in a lunch, enjoy them as a snack, or make them for a party appetizer.
They are so much fun to make and extremely popular, and the kids will love to help. So, if you are looking for an appetizer that is sure to please, give these Mexican pinwheels a try. Easy and fun to make.
Also great, is that they can be made ahead of time and then sliced right before you need them.
Ingredients for a Mexican Roll Ups
- 1 package (8 ounce) Cream cheese: Softened to room temperature
- 1 Cup Sour Cream
- 1 1-oz. package Taco Seasoning
- 1 4-oz. can diced Green Chilis
- 1 4.25 oz. can sliced Black Olives
- 1 cup Shredded Cheese
- 1/4 cup Salsa
- 3 – 4 Flour Tortillas
Steps in Preparing Mexican Roll Ups
Mix together the cream cheese, sour cream and taco seasoning. Add the remaining ingredients, green chilis, olives, cheese and salsa.
Spread mixture in an even layer to the edge of the tortilla. Use 1/2 to 1 cup of the mixture. The amount you use on the tortilla is dependent on how thick you want the filling. I use a lot and cover the tortilla pretty well. Also the more filling you use the less tortillas you will need.
Tightly roll up the tortilla with the filling inside. Wrap in plastic wrap. You can add a toothpick to hold them together if desired. Repeat until all the tortillas are rolled and wrapped.
Place the wrapped rollups in the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours. Can chill overnight.
Use a very sharp knife to slice into pinwheels, about 1/2 inch thick.
Enjoy!
These Mexican rollups are so delicious, flavorful, and easy to make.
