Ingredients
- 8 oz (softened) Cream cheese
- 1 cup (flaked) Cooked crab meat
- 1 cup (shredded) Cheddar cheese
- 3 stalks (chopped) Green onions
- 0.5 cup (finely diced) Red bell pepper
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Cilantro
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Chili powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 6 large Flour tortillas
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, flaked crab meat, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped green onions, finely diced red bell pepper, and chopped cilantro.
Step 2
Add garlic powder, chili powder, and salt to the mixture. Stir well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated and the filling has a creamy consistency.
Step 3
Lay one flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread a thin and even layer of the crab mixture over the entire tortilla, leaving about 1/2 inch of space at the edges.
Step 4
Roll the tortilla tightly from one side to the other, forming a log. Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and filling.
Step 5
Place the rolled tortillas seam-side down on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, slice each roll into 1-inch pieces to form the 'wheels.'
Step 6
Arrange the crab wheels on a platter for serving. Optional: Chill in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes before serving to help the filling firm up.
Step 7
Serve immediately as a party appetizer or snack. Enjoy the zesty and creamy bursts of flavor in every bite!
