Cream Cheese Roll-Overs
Cream Cheese Roll-Overs are savory, bite-sized snacks filled with olives and cream cheese, perfect for parties, appetizers, or quick snacks with a creamy, tangy flavor.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Stir the sliced olives into the cream cheese until well combined.
- Spread the olive and cream cheese mixture evenly on the flour tortillas.
- Sprinkle with your choice of seasoning.
- Roll up the tortillas tightly and slice into 1-inch pieces.
- Place the slices into the fridge until ready to serve.
Tips & Substitutions
For a twist, try adding some diced red bell pepper or green onions to the cream cheese for added flavor and crunch. You can substitute the olives with sun-dried tomatoes or roasted red peppers for a different taste. If you're short on time, pre-made cream cheese spreads can be a convenient alternative. These roll-overs are a great option for gatherings, especially when paired with American recipes like Delicious Meat Loaf(Salpicon Al Queso).
Serving Suggestions
Serve these cream cheese roll-overs as a light appetizer or snack at parties. They pair wonderfully with a side of fresh salsa or guacamole for dipping. For a complete meal, consider serving them alongside a crisp salad or some fresh fruit, such as Cottage Cheese Fruit Salad. These roll-overs are also great for lunchboxes or picnics.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To enjoy them later, you can eat them cold directly from the fridge or let them sit at room temperature for a bit before serving. Avoid reheating in the microwave, as this can make the tortillas chewy and unappetizing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these cream cheese roll-overs ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the roll-overs a day in advance. Simply wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate. This allows the flavors to meld together, enhancing the taste. Just slice them just before serving to ensure they look fresh and appealing.
What can I use instead of cream cheese?
If you're looking for a lighter option, you can substitute cream cheese with Greek yogurt or a dairy-free cream cheese alternative. This will still provide a creamy texture while reducing calories. Just be sure to adjust the seasoning as needed, as these substitutes can vary in flavor.
Are there any vegetarian options for this recipe?
Absolutely! This recipe is already vegetarian-friendly. You can add various vegetables like spinach, shredded carrots, or even avocado to the cream cheese mixture for extra nutrition and flavor. Just make sure the tortillas you use are also vegetarian.
