Chile and Cheese Spirals

Here is another easy and delicious appetizer.  I can’t remember where I got this recipe for Chile and Cheese Spirals, but it’s perfect for Christmas.  You can use any type of tortilla to make them, but at Christmas I like to make them with green tortillas.  I buy the Mission garden spinach herb kind.

These are full of flavor and look festive.  The other good thing is that have to be made at least 1 hour ahead of time.  I have made them the day before a party.  Also, I recently stumbled across a similar recipe that had a great idea of how to serve these.  I put a picture of it below and here’s the link with detailed instruction on how they did it.  Way too cute for Christmas!
There won’t be a post on Christmas so I hope you all have a fabulous Christmas and delicious food.  I’ll be counting calories after the New Year.  I have enjoyed the holiday season a tad too much.  I will be back on Saturday with another appetizer.  This one is going to involve fresh cranberries.  Merry Christmas to you all!!!

  12. I love the use of the green tortillas. So perfect for the holidays. And that tree idea is brilliant, isn’t it. My family loves those tortillas rollups and I’m keeping that tree idea in my mind for next Christmas for sure.

  14. I made some similar for my Open House. They went very quick! Next year I know to make a lot more and will make some of yours too! Get out of here with that tree of spirals! Did you try it? That is just too darn funny! I might copy it and do that next year too for fun!
