Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider letting the cream cheese sit at room temperature before mixing. You can substitute the pimentos with roasted red peppers for a sweeter flavor.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these tortillas ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the filling a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator. Just spread it on the tortillas right before serving to keep them fresh and avoid sogginess.
What can I use instead of cream cheese?
If you're looking for a lighter option, you can use Greek yogurt or a dairy-free cream cheese alternative. This will maintain a similar consistency while reducing calories.
Can I freeze the prepared tortillas?
While it's not recommended to freeze the wrapped tortillas with filling, you can freeze the filling itself. Store it in an airtight container for up to a month and assemble the tortillas when ready to serve.
