Santa Fe Spirals

These Santa Fe Spirals are easy to make and freeze well. They're also great for parties because you can pull them out when unexpected guests show up.

Ingredients

  • 1 pack flour tortillas (you’ll need 6-8 tortillas)
  • 8 oz  cream cheese softened to room temperature
  • ¾ cup sour cream
  • ¼ cup salsa
  • cup green onions chopped
  • 1 pc jalapeno seeded and finely chopped

Instructions

  • Mix together the block of softened cream cheese, ½ cup of sour cream, and the salsa. Finely chop a jalapeño. If you like things spicy, leave the seeds in, and if not, take them out. Stir in the jalapenos and chopped green onions.
  • Spread the cream cheese mixture onto burrito-sized flour tortillas and roll them up tightly. This makes 6-8 rolls depending on how much of the cream cheese mixture you spread on each one.
  • If you are going to be freezing them, wrap the rolls in plastic wrap and put them into a large resealable bag. Remove the air, seal, and freeze.
  • If you are not freezing them, wrap the rolls in plastic wrap and put them in the fridge to make them easier to slice. You can keep them in the fridge for up to a few days before slicing, so they are a great make-ahead.
  • On the day that you are serving the Santa Fe Spirals, take out as many rolls as needed. Thaw them slightly (they are easier to cut when chilled) and slice the rolls using a sharp knife into one-inch-thick spirals. Serve with salsa for dipping.
