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
- Prepare the Cream Cheese: Spread the cream cheese evenly over the tops of each of the six tortillas, covering the surface completely.
- Season the Tortillas: Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of everything seasoning evenly over each cream cheese-covered tortilla to add flavor.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
