Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 6 flour (8-inch) tortillas
  • 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, room temperature, divided
  • 2 tablespoons everything seasoning, divided
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cream Cheese: Spread the cream cheese evenly over the tops of each of the six tortillas, covering the surface completely.
  2. Season the Tortillas: Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of everything seasoning evenly over each cream cheese-covered tortilla to add flavor.
  3. Roll and Slice: Carefully roll up each tortilla tightly. Trim the ends off the rolled tortillas and then slice the remaining roll into 6 equal 1-inch pieces. This yields a total of about 36 bite-sized pieces.
  4. Heat the Pan and Butter: In a large nonstick pan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat until fully melted and hot but not burning.
  5. Pan-Fry the Bites: Place the tortilla bites in the pan and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until they become golden brown and crispy.
  6. Serve Warm: Remove the bites from the pan and serve immediately while warm for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • You can use the tortilla ends for additional bites if you prefer not to discard them.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easy spreading.
  • If you like, try substituting different seasoning blends to change the flavor profile.
  • Serve with dipping sauces like ranch, salsa, or guacamole for extra taste.
