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: Spread the softened cream cheese evenly over each tortilla, covering the entire surface.
- Season: Sprinkle approximately 1 teaspoon of everything bagel seasoning over the cream cheese layer on each tortilla.
- Roll and Slice: 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: 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: Remove from the pan and serve warm.
Notes
- Air Fryer Option: 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 400°F (200°C) for 5-6 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
- Make-Ahead: 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: 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.
