Quick and easy creamy cream cheese tortilla bites perfect for entertaining, made with simple ingredients and fresh herbs for a crowd-pleasing snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large (6-inch) flour tortillas
  • 8 ounces (225 g) cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons (about 8 g) fresh herbs (chopped chives, parsley, or dill)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional add-ins: finely diced bell peppers, jalapeños, cooked bacon bits

Instructions

  1. Soften the cream cheese by letting it sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream or Greek yogurt, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Blend until creamy and well combined.
  3. Stir in the finely chopped fresh herbs gently. Add optional jalapeños if desired.
  4. Lay out the flour tortillas on a clean surface.
  5. Spread about 2 tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture evenly over each tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.
  6. Roll each tortilla tightly from one edge without tearing.
  7. Wrap each rolled tortilla tightly in plastic wrap or parchment paper.
  8. Chill the wrapped rolls in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
  9. After chilling, unwrap the rolls and slice each into 1-inch thick bite-sized rounds.
  10. Arrange the bites on a serving platter and optionally sprinkle with extra fresh herbs or paprika before serving.

Notes

Soften cream cheese properly for smooth mixing. Chill rolls for at least 1 hour to firm up filling and make slicing easier. Wipe knife clean between cuts to prevent squishing. Can be made vegan by substituting dairy-free cream cheese and coconut yogurt. Corn tortillas can be used for gluten-free option but are more fragile.
