Ingredients
Scale
- 8 large flour tortillas (10-inch size)
- 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup cooked and crumbled bacon (about 6 strips)
- ½ cup ranch dressing
- ½ cup diced green onions
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Prepare Filling: Whip cream cheese with ranch dressing, infusing garlic powder and black pepper to create a velvety, flavor-packed base.
- Enhance Mixture: Gently fold sharp cheddar, crispy bacon crumbles, and chopped green onions into the creamy mixture, ensuring thorough and even distribution.
- Assembly: Spread the filling evenly across soft tortillas, leaving a small border to prevent overflow, then roll tightly into compact cylinders with consistent pressure.
- Chill and Set: Wrap each roll securely in plastic film and refrigerate for at least one hour, allowing flavors to meld and filling to firm up for precise cutting.
- Slice and Serve: Unwrap chilled rolls and slice into one-inch thick medallions using a sharp knife. Arrange artfully on a serving platter, ready to be enjoyed at room temperature or chilled.
Notes
- Cheese Selection Matters: Choose high-quality sharp cheddar for maximum flavor impact and creamy texture in the filling.
- Temperature Control: Ensure cream cheese is completely softened at room temperature to achieve a smooth, lump-free base mixture.
- Bacon Preparation Tip: Crisp bacon thoroughly before crumbling to prevent soggy texture and enhance overall crunch in roll-ups.
- Refrigeration is Key: Allow minimum chilling time of one hour to help rolls set firmly, making slicing cleaner and preventing filling from oozing out.
