Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup sour cream adds creaminess and tanginess
  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 4 ounces diced green chilies drained
  • 4 ounces chopped black olives drained
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese for cheesy richness
  • ½ cup chopped green onions adds freshness and crunch
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder enhances flavor
  • 1 teaspoon seasoned salt to bring flavors together

Equipment

Method
 

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and sour cream. Use a spatula to mix until smooth.
  2. Stir in the diced green chilies, chopped black olives, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped green onions, garlic powder, and seasoned salt. Mix until evenly distributed.
  3. Lay one flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread a generous layer of the filling mixture over the entire surface, leaving about half an inch around the edges.
  4. Carefully roll the tortilla tightly from one end to the other, keeping the filling inside.
