ingredients

4 Servings
8 pcs small tortillas (approx. 15 cm diameter)
220 g shredded cheese (e.g., cheddar and mozzarella mix)
100 g cream cheese
2 stalks spring onion, chopped
1 tsp garlic powder
0.5 tsp smoked paprika
0 to taste salt
0 to taste freshly ground black pepper
2 tbsp olive oil or melted butter

Steps

1

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 190°C (170°C for fan-assisted ovens). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2

Make the Filling

In a medium bowl, combine the shredded cheese, cream cheese, chopped spring onion, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well until a creamy consistency is achieved.

3

Fill Tortillas

Cut each small tortilla in half to create semi-circles. Spread about one tablespoon of the cheese mixture onto each semi-circle, then roll them up tightly like small cigars. Place the rolled bites seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

4

Bake

Brush the rolled tortillas lightly with olive oil or melted butter. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted and bubbling. Serve immediately!

Extra Tips

Experiment with different types of cheese, such as smoked cheese or jalapeño cheese for a spicier flavor.

Serve with a dipping sauce like salsa, guacamole, or a sour cream and chive dip.

For crispier bites, bake a little longer until golden brown.
