Ingredients
– 1 large flour tortilla serves as the base for the bites
– 2 tablespoons cream cheese spread evenly over the tortilla for a creamy filling
– 1 tablespoon butter melted in a skillet for cooking to achieve golden crispiness
– 1 teaspoon Everything Bagel seasoning (optional) made from sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried garlic, dried onion, and salt, for added flavor
– 1/4 cup shredded cheddar (optional) for an extra cheesy topping
– 1 tablespoon diced jalapenos (optional) to add a spicy kick
– 1 teaspoon sugar mixed with 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional) for a sweet version
– 1 tablespoon jelly (optional) to introduce a fruity element
– 1/4 cup diced strawberries (optional) for a fresh, sweet filling
Instructions
1-First, spread the 2 tablespoons of cream cheese evenly over the large flour tortilla for a creamy base. If you’re using it, sprinkle the 1 teaspoon of Everything Bagel seasoning on top for extra flavor. Add any optional fillings like shredded cheddar or diced jalapenos to customize your bites.
2-Next, roll the tortilla tightly into a log to hold everything in place. Slice it into bite-sized pinwheels, which typically gives you about nine pieces from one tortilla. In a skillet, melt the 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat and cook the pinwheels, flipping themδΈεΉ΄ often, until they turn golden brown and crispy on all sides.
3-Let the pinwheels rest for about 5 minutes before serving so the cream cheese sets nicely. This simple method ensures a crispy texture with a flavorful inside, and it’s ready in just 5 minutes of prep and 5 minutes of cooking.
