Hi-Rollers
Hi-Rollers are flavorful rolled appetizer slices filled with cream cheese, olives, ham, and cheese, perfect for parties and gatherings that enjoy savory, creamy bites.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix cream cheese and sour cream together.
- Grind black olives, onion, shaved ham, and shredded taco cheese as much as desired.
- Blend both mixtures together until well combined.
- Spread the mixture evenly onto tortillas.
- Roll up the tortillas and cut into 1-inch slices.
- Refrigerate for 1 hour before serving.
Tips & Substitutions
For a smoother filling, ensure your cream cheese is softened before mixing. You can substitute black olives with green olives or skip them entirely if you prefer a milder flavor. For added zest, consider mixing in diced jalapeños or using flavored cream cheese. If you're short on time, pre-shredded cheese can save you some prep work.
Serving Suggestions
These Hi-Rollers make a perfect appetizer for parties or game day. Serve them alongside a fresh salsa or guacamole for dipping. They also pair beautifully with a crisp salad or as a side to dishes like Jessica'S Jamaican Pork. For a fun twist, try serving them with a variety of flavored tortillas.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover Hi-Rollers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. They are best enjoyed cold straight from the fridge, but if you prefer them warm, briefly microwave them for about 15-20 seconds, being careful not to overheat.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make Hi-Rollers ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the Hi-Rollers a day in advance and store them in the refrigerator. Just be sure to keep them tightly wrapped or in an airtight container to maintain their freshness. Allow them to sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving for the best texture.
What can I use instead of sour cream?
If you're looking for a substitute for sour cream, plain Greek yogurt works wonderfully and adds a nice tang. You can also mix a little lemon juice with cream to mimic the acidity of sour cream. Just keep in mind that the flavor will be slightly different, but still delicious.
How do I add more flavor to the filling?
To enhance the flavor of the filling, consider adding spices such as cumin or paprika. Fresh herbs like cilantro or dill can also brighten the taste. Additionally, mixing in some diced bell peppers or a splash of hot sauce can give your Hi-Rollers an extra kick that complements the creaminess.
