Amy At every holiday family gathering, one dish consistently steals the spotlight—the beloved Tortilla Roll-Ups. This simple yet delicious recipe has transformed into a cherished tradition, adding a burst of flavor to our celebrations and ensuring everyone gathers around the table. As the years passed, our approach to making these delights evolved, introducing a twist that made them even easier to prepare.
In the heart of our family gatherings, you’d find us in the kitchen, meticulously layering the ingredients onto each tortilla before rolling them up. It was a hands-on process, a shared experience that added an extra layer of joy to the festive atmosphere. These roll-ups became a symbol of togetherness and the anticipation of the feast ahead.
One day, seeking a touch of culinary innovation, I decided to experiment with our traditional Tortilla Roll-Up routine. Instead of the meticulous layering, I tossed all the ingredients into a food processor. A few pulses later, the mixture transformed into a flavorful blend, ready to be spread onto tortillas.
The food processor twist turned out to be a game-changer. Not only did it save time, but it also added a new level of convenience to the preparation process. The streamlined simplicity allowed for spending less time in the kitchen and more time enjoying the festivities with our loved ones.
MAKE AHEAD
These are great to make a day before you need them. After making them and just before you slice them throw them into a gallon Ziplock bag and put in the refrigerator until you are ready. Cut them up just before the party.
More Flavor
These are delicious on their own but if you like to eat everything with a sauce. Try dipping them into your favorite salsa. Great way to elevate their flavor even more.
