Ingredients:
- 2 8-10 inch flour tortillas
- 4 oz. cream cheese, softened
- 1/3 cup crumbled goat cheese, divided
- 2 tbsp. sun dried tomato oil (from sun dried tomato jar)
- 1/3 cup sun dried tomatoes, chopped
- 1/2 cup spinach leaves, chopped
- 2 tbsp. pine nuts
Directions:
- Prepare the Filling: Start by taking a small mixing bowl and combine the softened cream cheese with 1/4 cup of the goat cheese and the sun dried tomato oil. Using an electric mixer on medium speed, blend these ingredients until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency.
- Assemble the Tortillas: Lay out the tortillas on a clean surface. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over each tortilla to cover the surface area. This creamy layer will act as the flavorful glue holding all the delicious toppings in place.
- Add Toppings: Sprinkle the chopped sun dried tomatoes, chopped spinach, and pine nuts over the cream cheese mixture. Dot the assembly with the remaining goat cheese, adding a tangy burst of flavor in every bite.
- Roll Them Up: Carefully start at one end of each tortilla and roll it tightly. The key is to keep the roll tight enough to hold all the ingredients securely, ensuring they don’t fall out when sliced.
- Slice and Serve: Using a sharp knife, cut the rolled tortillas into 1 1/2 inch pieces. This size is perfect for a bite-sized appetizer that’s easy to handle and delightful to eat.
