Ingredients
- – 4 ounces (113g) cream cheese
- – 1/3 cup (80ml) salsa
- – 1/2 teaspoon (3 ml) cumin
- – 1 teaspoon (5 ml) chili powder
- – 1 teaspoon (5 ml) garlic powder
- – 1 tablespoon (15 ml) lime juice
- – 1/4 teaspoon (1 ml) salt
- – 2 cups (450g) cooked and shredded beef
- – 1 cup (113g) shredded cheddar cheese
- – 1 tablespoon (15 ml) finely chopped green onion
- – 2 tablespoons (30 ml) finely chopped cilantro
- – 8-10 small flour tortillas
Instructions
- Set your oven to 425°F and get a baking tray ready by covering it with foil and lightly coating it with cooking spray. Put it aside for now.
- Warm the cream cheese in the microwave for 15-20 seconds to soften it. In a mixing bowl, blend together the cream cheese, salsa, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, lime juice, and salt.
- Incorporate the cooked and shredded beef, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped green onion, and chopped cilantro into the mixture. Mix thoroughly until everything is evenly distributed.
- Place roughly 3 tablespoons of the beef mixture about an inch from the edge of each small flour tortilla. Roll them up tightly and position them seam-side down on the prepared baking tray.
- Repeat the process for each tortilla, ensuring they are spaced about an inch apart without touching.
- Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes or until the edges of the tortillas are slightly golden brown. Serve with sour cream, ranch dressing, or your preferred sauce.
Notes
- For a spicier flavor, include a pinch of cayenne pepper in the beef mixture before rolling the tortillas.
- Enhance the filling with diced bell peppers, black beans, or corn for added taste and texture.
- To make this dish vegetarian, swap shredded beef for cooked and seasoned black beans or lentils.
