Serving Suggestions
These Summer Rollups make a fantastic appetizer or snack for gatherings. Serve them alongside a fresh salsa or guacamole for dipping.

Storage & Reheating

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these rollups ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the rollups a day in advance and store them in the refrigerator. Just be sure to wrap them tightly to prevent them from drying out. This makes them a great option for party prep, allowing you to enjoy your time with guests.
What can I use instead of jalapenos?
If you're sensitive to heat, consider using diced green bell peppers or mild banana peppers instead of jalapenos. You could also use roasted red peppers for a sweeter flavor that still adds a nice texture to the filling.
Can I freeze the Summer Rollups?
Freezing is not recommended for these rollups as the texture of the cream cheese and sour cream can change when thawed. However, if you must, wrap each rollup tightly in plastic wrap and store in a freezer bag. Thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
