Antojitos
Description
This Antojitos recipe starts with cream cheese softened and mixed together with breadcrumbs and hot sauce to create a creamy base. Chopped red and green bell peppers along with jalapeno peppers are folded into the mixture, contributing freshness and mild heat. The filling is spread evenly on whole wheat or other preferred tortillas, topped with shredded cheddar cheese, rolled up tightly, and sliced into 1-inch pinwheels.
The pinwheels are baked first at 350°F to warm through and then briefly broiled to achieve a golden brown finish and slight crispness on the outside. This results in a snack with a soft, creamy interior balanced by a crispy exterior. The peppers’ texture and flavor shine through the creamy filling, complemented by melted cheddar cheese.
These are served best with salsa or sour cream for dipping, making them suitable for gatherings or casual bites. The recipe is adaptable to various tortilla types and hot sauce preferences, making it customizable to taste and heat tolerance.
