Easy Salsa Roll Up Recipe

Now that I’ve entered the second trimester of my pregnancy, my relationship with food has taken a drastic shift. For several weeks I could often think of only a few foods I could even imagine eating (usually salad, chicken or fruit) and now I can’t stop thinking of food in general. Almost everything sounds good to me so when I came upon my stash of Kraft Food & Family magazines this past weekend I was in heaven and led me to this easy salsa roll up recipe.
Flipping through the recipes, I wanted to make everything I saw but unfortunately it was still the afternoon and I already had plans for my dinner meal. And of course many of the ingredients I didn’t have on hand, until I spied an easy salsa roll up recipe in a tailgating insert from last year. After scanning the recipe I realized I could make it and by golly, nothing was going to stop me. Needless to say, my hubby thought I was awesome when I came in with these bad boys while he was playing the XBox360 while the boys napped.
These roll ups are so easy and yet taste so good, you can bet they are on my list of go to appetizers now. My husband and I polished them off in no time. (Hey, I had a very small lunch!) Just writing this post is making me crave them all over again!
Easy Salsa Roll Up Recipe
This salsa roll up recipe is the ultimate appetizer or snack! Just 5 ingredients and 10 minutes is all you need to whip up this easy recipe. Makes a great game day snack or party appetizer!
Ingredients
- 4 oz 1/2 of 8 oz pkg Philadelphia cream cheese (or Neufchatel), softened
- 3 tablespoons thick and chunky salsa
- 4 flour tortillas 6 inch
- 1/2 cup Kraft Mexican Style Finely Shredded Four Cheese or your favorite shredded cheese
- 1/4 tsp chili powder optional
Instructions
-
Mix Philadelphia and salsa with electric mixer. Spread onto tortillas and top with remaining ingredients.
-
Tightly roll tortillas. Cut each into 5 slices, making sure to cut off each end of the tortilla first so it can sit flat.
Recipe Notes
If you use Neufachatel cheese, 4.5 grams of fat and 90 calories per serving.
I omitted the chili powder because I used a medium salsa and didn't want it too spicy. Tasted great without.
This recipe was found in the Kraft Food & Family magazine, Holiday 2010.
Oh my, that looks right up my alley! I love rollups. I usually do a turkey version or a spinach & smoked salmon version.
My kids will eat this if I leave out the salsa.
Oh, the salsa is what gives it all the flavor! 🙂
Another option would be to mix the cream cheese with a little taco seasoning to give it the flavor. Perhaps evening a little sour cream to make it even creamier.
Thanks for stopping by!
I knew I would be hearing from you. I know the salsa gives it flavor, but I have such finicky kids. I know, I will use La Victoria’s taco sauce. They will never know that it’s in there. LOL
I’m almost out of my first trimester and still a little picky, but these sound delicious! Thank you for posting them!
mm being in my 3rd trimester.. I want this!
This looks delicious!!! Would make a nice appetizer for a party or work event. I’m going to try this recipe. Thanks for sharing!
I have used Philadelphia Cooking Creme in Santa Fe with some shredded cheese on top. Also used Cheddar Jalapeno wraps. Wrap wraps in Siran Wrap and put in the fridge for an hour or so. They are easier to cut. These are always a hit!
im gonna to give this a try,looks easy to do
I lve how easy these sound to make. Yummy!!
*love
Would these freeze well? I’m due in two weeks and am trying to stock the freezer with easy go to lunch and dinner foods.
Well, your kid would be in elementary school now, but yes, these freeze well. When my boys were in elementary, I’d make tons of them, using different fillings (lunchmeat, cheese, dips, whatever) and wrap them first in saran wrap, then foil. On busy mornings, I’d remove the foil, throw two in their lunchboxes, and they were thawed by lunch.
Salsa makes everything better! Roll-ups are easy to pack in the cooler for going to the beach too. Great recipe idea!
I make a similar item to this but mine calls for 8 oz. cream cheese, 8 oz. sour cream, small cans each of chopped black olives and green chilis (not hot), and 8 oz. of cheese (your choice). I have made these many times for parties and events and they always go over well. I also add garlic powder for seasoning.
These are delicious! I’ve made these many times. They are always a hit at parties.
These look so yummy and easy–I will have to make them soon!
This looks so good! Thanks for sharing.
This looks tasty and sooo easy, I can’t wait to try it!
I love the Easy Salsa Roll Up Recipe and I am going to make these for the kids!
This recipe looks so easy and delicious. I can’t wait to make these roll ups. Perfect for my upcoming camping trip.
Great recipe! Sometimes I add some shredded chicken, but the roll ups are also tasty as is. I keep this bookmarked so I can always find it!
