Not so Irish, Green Tortilla Appetizers image

Perfect for St. Patrick's day. Easier if you make ahead to provide time for them to firm up before slicing.

Time 45m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
1/2 cup green chili salsa (Herdez brand preferred)
4 ounces green chilies, chopped (drained)
3 green onions, finely chopped
4 ounces monterey jack cheese, grated
1/4 cup cilantro (optional, but preferred)
4 -6 spinach tortillas (large burrito size)

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients except tortillas. Stir well to blend.
  • Spread a thin layer on one side of each tortilla. Roll up jelly roll style.
  • Wrap in plastic wrap individually and chill. I have made up to two days ahead and still have great results.
  • Remove from wrap and slice into approximately 3/4 to 1 inch slices. The end slices are usually not so pretty so these can be a chef's treat.
  • If you like things a little spicier you can add jalapenos into the mix.
