Cream cheese, green chilies, and black olives create a flavorful filling for these easy, make-ahead tortilla roll-ups perfect for entertaining or snacking.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix the cream cheese, chopped black olives, diced green chilies, and shredded Cheddar cheese together.

- Roll up each tortilla tightly.
- Freeze the rolled tortillas for about 30 minutes to firm up.

Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, let the cream cheese soften at room temperature before mixing. You can substitute the black olives with green olives or omit them entirely for a different flavor. If you want a bit of heat, consider adding jalapeños or using pepper jack cheese instead of Cheddar. These roll-ups can also be customized with your favorite ingredients, making them a versatile snack option.

Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover roll-ups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, you can enjoy them cold or let them sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes before serving. If you prefer warm roll-ups, microwave them briefly on low power, ensuring not to heat too long to maintain the texture.
