Antojitos translates to “little cravings” and can refer to any sort of delicious street food or afternoon snack. These Antojitos are a tasty introduction to the culinary concept; rolls of tortillas surrounded by a creamy, tangy filling of bright vegetables, sharp cheese, and spicy hot sauce, and then baked until melty and bubbly. Dip them in sour cream and goodbye hunger! Say hello to great times in a hurry with Antojitos!
Ingredients
- 1 (8-ounce) package brick-style cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons sour cream, plus more, to taste, for serving
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1/2 teaspoon hot sauce, plus more, optional, to taste
- 1/2 red bell pepper, finely chopped
- 2 jalapeƱo peppers, seeded and chopped
- 1 green onion, finely minced
- 4 large tortillas
Directions
Step 1 –Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Step 2 –Place a cast-iron skillet in the oven while it preheats, so the skillet is hot and ready.
Step 3 –Use an electric hand mixer to blend the cream cheese, 2 tablespoons of the sour cream, the cheddar cheese, the hot sauce, the red bell pepper, the jalapeƱos, and the green onion together.
Step 4 –Spread the cream cheese mixture on one of the tortillas, leaving about a 1-inch perimeter around the edges to prevent the filling from seeping out. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
Step 5 –Tightly roll the tortillas up and score the surfaces with a serrated knife in 1-inch diagonal slices.
Step 6 –Cut the score lines all the way through.
Step 7 –Arrange the antojitos on the prepared cast-iron skillet.
Step 8 –Bake the antojitos, flipping halfway through, about 10-12 minutes.
Step 9 –Switch the oven to broil and cook until the antojitos are hot and bubbly, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 10 –Cool the antojitos, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 11 –Serve the antojitos with the sour cream.
