Ingredients
- 8 oz Cream cheese
- 1 cup Black beans (canned, rinsed, and drained)
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Salsa
- 2 tablespoons Green onions (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 4 pieces Large flour tortillas
- 0 Optional toppings (e.g., guacamole, sour cream)
Directions
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese and salsa until smooth and well-blended.
Step 2
Add the black beans, shredded cheddar cheese, green onions, cilantro, garlic powder, and ground cumin to the cream cheese mixture. Stir until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Step 3
Place one flour tortilla on a flat work surface. Spread about 1/4 of the mixture evenly over the tortilla, leaving about 1 inch of space around the edges.
Step 4
Tightly roll the tortilla from one end to the other, forming a log shape.
Step 5
Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and filling.
Step 6
Wrap each tortilla roll in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up and make slicing easier.
Step 7
Once chilled, remove the plastic wrap and slice each roll into 1-inch pieces to create the spirals.
Step 8
Arrange the spirals on a serving platter and optionally serve with guacamole, sour cream, or additional salsa as a dip.
