Ingredients

  • 8 ounce block cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • ½ cup pepper jelly
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 4 large flour tortillas (burrito size)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup crumbled bacon
  • ½ cup sliced green onions

Instructions

  • In a small bowl add the 8 ounce block cream cheese, softened to room temperature and 1/2 cup pepper jelly and mix together using an electric hand mixer until creamy.
    NOTE: This can be done by hand, just takes a little longer.

  • Add the 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon pepper and 1 teaspoon onion powder and mix again.
    Cheese, salt, pepper, and onion powder added to a pepper jelly and cream cheese mixture.
  • Lay one tortilla on a clean, dry surface, spread about 2 large spoonfuls of the cream cheese mixture on the tortilla.
    Sprinkle some of the cheese on top. Then sprinkle a pinch of bacon and green onion. There is no exact amount, just evenly spread each of the toppings over all 4 of the tortillas.

  • Take one side of the tortilla and roll into a tight log. Try to make it as tight as possible. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap. Repeat with the other tortillas.
    Once they are all tightly wrapped, place in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes (this will help it stay secure when you cut them.)

  • When ready, take the rolls out of the refrigerator and remove from the plastic wrap making sure to not unroll the tight log it’s in.
  • Cut the ends off where it’s just mostly tortilla.
  • Cut into 1 to 1 1/2 inch slices. Serve and enjoy!
