Prep Time 15 minutes
Total Time 15 minutes
Servings: 6 servings
Course: Appetizer
Cuisine: Mexican

Ingredients
  

  • 1 can black beans (14.5 oz), rinsed and drained
  • 3 large tortillas
  • 8 oz Challenge Salsa Cream Cheese
  • 3 to 4 tablespoons freshly chopped cilantro

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Spatula or spoon
  • Cutting board
  • Sharp knife
  • Plastic Wrap

Method
 

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the rinsed and drained black beans with the Challenge Salsa Cream Cheese. Use a spatula to mix until smooth and well combined.
  2. Fold in the freshly chopped cilantro, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
  3. Lay out one large tortilla on a clean surface. Spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture over the entire surface of the tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.
  4. Starting from one end, carefully roll the tortilla tightly away from you, ensuring that the filling stays inside. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and filling.
  5. Using a sharp knife, slice the rolled tortillas into 1-inch pinwheels. Arrange them on a serving platter and enjoy immediately, or cover them with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Notes

  • Feel free to customize the filling to suit your taste preferences—add cheese, or diced tomatoes, or even swap out the beans for chickpeas.
  • For a more intense flavor, consider letting the cream cheese mixture sit for about 30 minutes at room temperature before spreading it on the tortillas.
  • If you prefer a bit of crunch, you can add some finely chopped red onions or corn to the mixture.
