Description

Cream Cheese Tortilla Bites are a simple and delicious appetizer perfect for any gathering. These crispy, golden-brown bites feature a creamy filling seasoned with everything bagel spice, all wrapped in a soft flour tortilla. They’re quick to prepare and sure to be a crowd-pleaser.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 6 (8-inch) flour tortillas
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons everything bagel seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Instructions

  • Prepare the Filling:ย Spread the softened cream cheese evenly over each tortilla, covering the entire surface.
  • Season:ย Sprinkle approximately 1 teaspoon of everything bagel seasoning over the cream cheese layer on each tortilla.
  • Roll and Slice:ย Tightly roll up each tortilla. Using a sharp knife, trim the ends and cut each roll into 1-inch pieces, yielding about 6 bites per tortilla.
  • Cook:ย In a large nonstick pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Place the tortilla bites in the pan, cut side down, and cook for about 1 minute per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
  • Serve:ย Remove from the pan and serve warm.

Notes

  • Air Fryer Option:ย To use an air fryer, brush the prepared bites with melted butter and place them in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Air fry at 400ยฐF (200ยฐC) for 5-6 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
  • Make-Ahead:ย Assemble the bites up to a day in advance. Store the rolled and cut bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator. When ready to serve, bring them to room temperature and cook as directed.
  • Storage:ย Leftover bites can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer to restore crispiness.
