I've still been cooking a lot for the holiday season, parties at work, and football. ROLL TIDE! :)
Here is a quick football snack I threw together the other day. It's the first time we've tried this version of roll-ups and they were gone pretty quickly. I think you could mix and match a lot of different varieties. This one is pretty basic.
Black Bean Roll-ups served with salsa
Ingredients
1 can or about a cup of black beans, rinsed and drained
1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
1 cup (about 4 oz) Monterrey Jack cheese, shredded (you could use pepper jack if you like it a little spicier)
1/2 cup sour cream
Salt, onion, pepper, or whatever seasonings your heart desires
3-6 flour tortillas, depending on tortilla size and how thick you want the inside layers
Directions
Mix together cream cheese, Monterrey jack cheese, sour cream. I threw in a little onion and salt, but you could season with a lot of different things and it would give it a whole different twist each time.
Use a food processor to blend the black beans to a smooth consistency. I started to add a little olive oil to help with this part. I didn't, but I might try it next time.
Spread the smooth black beans on a tortilla, leaving about an inch around the edge. Then spread the cheese mixture on top of the black beans.
Roll up tightly and secure with a toothpick or wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate about 20 minutes. You can leave in the fridge longer if you like too.
Remove from fridge and cut (I use a serrated knife) into about 1/4-1/2 inch slices. Serve with salsa of your choice! I was very excited to use my Christmas dishes for this. First use of the season. You can't really see the pattern with the food in it, but trust me, it was pretty and festive!
