Ingredients
  

Cream Cheese Filling
  • 2 packs cream cheese (softened) Room temperature cream cheese is essential.
  • 1 pack taco seasoning Use your favorite brand.
  • 1 can Rotel (mostly drained) Draining it well is important to avoid sogginess.
  • 1 pack burrito-size tortillas Large size is required for proper rolling.
  • 1 cup Fiesta cheese (shredded) Mix of cheddar, Monterey Jack, asadero, and queso.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Soften the cream cheese by leaving it at room temperature for 30-45 minutes.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, taco seasoning, and the mostly-drained Rotel. Use a mixer on medium speed until smooth.
  3. Lay a tortilla flat and spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture to the edges.
  4. Sprinkle with a generous handful of fiesta cheese evenly across the surface.
  5. Roll the tortilla tightly from one end, similar to rolling a burrito.
  6. Place rolled tortillas seam-side down, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30-60 minutes.
  7. Slice each roll into rounds of about 1 to 1.5 inches thick and arrange on a serving platter.

Notes

Drain Rotel thoroughly to prevent soggy tortillas. Use a sharp knife for clean cuts. For best results, prepare overnight. Variations include adding hot sauce or using shredded chicken.
