Tortilla Roll Ups - Easy and Quick Mexican Appetizer

Tortilla Roll ups is an easy party appetizer filled with cream cheese, cheese, veggies or chicken. It can be perfect for any party. The best alternative for cream cheese in this dish can be hung curd. So I found it’s wise to use hung curd when cream cheese was not available with me.

Every bite of torilla roll ups just melts into your mouth.  The best part of this dish is it can be prepared a day ahead and refrigerate it until serving.  I tried these roll ups with two types of tortillas- regular tortillas and tomato garlic tortillas. Both flavors were amazing and in future posts will showcase these amazing roll ups with different flavors of tortillas
