Chile Cheese Roll Ups Recipes

CHILI CHEESE ROLLS RECIPE

Steps:

• Grate cheese in a food processor and set aside. (If you don't have a food processor, you can grate with a normal box grater. It will just take a bit longer.)
• Chop pecans and garlic with the steel blade in the food processor.
• Add softened cream cheese and pulse a couple of times.
• Add grated cheese and blend all together until smooth.
• Pour chili powder on a sheet of parchment paper (Wax paper will work also.)
• Form cheese into 2 logs and roll in the chili powder.
• Chill at least 24 hours. These rolls can also be frozen and used at a later date.
• Serve with crackers. A thick cracker, like Triscuits, works well here.

CHILI-CHEESE ROLL-UPS

Steps:

• Preheat a larage sauté pan on medium-high for 2-3 minutes.
• Spray pan with a cooking spray such as Pam. Add onions and garlic; sauté 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Add ground beef, cumin, chili powder, salt and pepper. Cook 5-7 until meat is brown and no pink remains. Stir frequently and break up meat as it cooks.
• While meat is browning, cut tomato into quarters and remove core. Dice into bite-size pieces and set aside. Dice cheese into bite-size pieces.
• Drain beef and return to pan. Add cheese and heat until cheese is melted, stirring frequently, and reducing heat if needed. Remove from heat and let stand 2 minutes.
• Remove tortillas from package and place on paper towel. Place in microwave and heat on high for 30 seconds.
• Assemble roll-ups as follows: Place tortillas on flat surface and add 1/2 cup beef mixture to each tortilla. Divide tomato and lettuce between each tortilla. Fold one side up about 1 inch to form the bottom, and roll tortilla to make a cylinder shape. Serve.
