Can I make taco tortilla roll-ups ahead of time?

Yes! These roll-ups are perfect for meal prep or party planning. You can prepare them up to 24 hours in advance and store them in the refrigerator. Just slice them before serving to keep them fresh.

How do I keep my roll-ups from getting soggy?

Avoid using overly wet ingredients like juicy tomatoes or watery salsa. If adding tomatoes, drain any excess liquid before mixing. Chilling the rolls before slicing also helps maintain texture.

Can I freeze taco tortilla roll-ups?

It’s not recommended, as the cream cheese and sour cream filling may separate and become watery when thawed. For best results, store them in the fridge and consume within two days.

Instructions

Mix the Filling: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and taco seasoning. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
Add the Ingredients: Fold in the shredded cheese, diced tomatoes, black olives, and green onions, making sure everything is evenly distributed.
Spread the Mixture: Lay out a flour tortilla on a flat surface and spread a thin, even layer of the taco-flavored filling across the entire surface, leaving about half an inch of space around the edges.
Roll the Tortilla: Starting from one end, roll the tortilla tightly into a log, pressing gently as you go to keep the filling in place. Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and filling.
Chill Before Slicing: Wrap each rolled tortilla in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to help firm them up and make slicing easier.
Slice and Serve: Once chilled, use a sharp knife to cut each roll into 1-inch slices. Arrange them on a platter and serve immediately or store in the fridge until ready to eat.

Notes

Chilling the rolls before slicing ensures clean cuts and prevents the filling from oozing out.
Whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas can be used as substitutes, but warming them slightly makes rolling easier.
For an extra flavor boost, add a tablespoon of salsa or diced jalapeños to the filling mixture.
Serve with guacamole, salsa, or a creamy dip to enhance the taste.
