One of my favorite
appetizers as well as my son, Jonathan’s favorite! If desired, use a few chopped, canned
jalapenos instead of green chilies. A party favorite and so easy!
INGREDIENTS:
Olive
oil
8 oz light cream cheese, softened (250 g)
4.5 oz can chopped green chilies, drained (128 g)
1/2 cup grated
Cheddar Cheese, (125 mL)
1/3 cup chopped
green onions (75 mL)
1/2 tsp crushed
garlic (2 mL)
(the bottled kind)
INSTRUCTIONS:
In
nonstick skillet in a small amount of olive oil, fry the tortillas briefly on
both sides. They will still be flexible,
however, the flavor will be enhanced.
This is not necessary if your tortillas taste great.
In
medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese, green chilies, grated Cheddar
cheese, finely chopped green onions and garlic.
Cover each tortilla with cream cheese spread. Roll up each tortilla. Place tortillas on serving plate and cover
with plastic wrap. Refrigerate 2 hours
or more. Slice into narrow pieces.

Hints: The carbs may be higher with the gluten-free
tortillas (available on Amazon). My wraps are not gluten-free, and they are 3 g net carbs; Mama Lupe's. It is most common to serve these chilled, however, I have found that warming them in the microwave oven briefly makes them taste even more delicious!
