Cheesy Bacon-Jalapeño Roll-Ups

By ebdonahue

Ingredients

• 8 strips bacon, diced
• 1 pkg. cream cheese, softened (8 oz.)
• 1 jalapeño, seeded and minced
• 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
• 1 ⁄2 cup sliced scallions
• 1 ⁄2 tsp. each ground cumin and coriander
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• 6 flour tortillas (6-inch)

Preparation

Step 1

Cook bacon in a sauté pan until crisp; transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate. Reserve drippings in sauté pan.

Blend cream cheese, jalapeño, Jack cheese, scallions, cumin, coriander, and bacon in a bowl with a mixer on medium speed; season with salt and pepper.

Spread about ¼ cup cream cheese mixture on one side of each tortilla all the way to the edges. Roll up tortillas and fry, seam side down, in batches, in sauté pan with drippings, over medium heat until browned, about 5 minutes. Slice tortillas into thirds; serve with pico de gallo or guacamole.
