ingredients
Steps
Prepare Vegetables
Heat 2 tbsp of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped red onion and diced bell pepper, and sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
Make the Filling
In a large bowl, combine the cream cheese, sautéed vegetables, drained corn, and black beans. Add half of the shredded cheddar cheese (100g), salt, pepper, paprika, and cumin. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Fill and Roll
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F). Lightly grease a baking dish. Lay out a tortilla, spread an even layer of the filling, then roll it up tightly. Place the rolls seam-side down in the baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
Bake
Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar cheese over the rolls. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden brown, and the tortillas are crispy. Let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Extra Tips
► Serve the rolls with sour cream, salsa, or guacamole for an even richer flavor experience.
► If you like, you can add diced chicken breast to the filling to make it more substantial.
► Leftover rolls are delicious the next day when stored in the fridge; reheat them in the microwave or oven.
