Ingredients for Antijitoes

  • Flour Tortillas
  • Cheddar Cheese
  • Banana Pepper
  • Red Bell Pepper
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened

How to Make Antijitoes

  1. In a medium bowl, combine 4 ounces of softened cream cheese with 1/2 cup of chopped bell peppers (any color or a mix!).
  2. Spread 1-2 tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture evenly onto each of 6-8 small flour tortillas.
  3. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of shredded Mexican cheese blend over the cream cheese layer on each tortilla.
  4. Fold in the sides of each tortilla, then tightly roll from the bottom up to create a pinwheel shape.
  5. Cut each pinwheel diagonally into 4-5 pieces.
  6. Place the Antijitoes on a lightly greased baking sheet. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 12-15 minutes, or until lightly golden brown and heated through.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
