Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 6 (8-inch) flour tortillas
- 8 ounces (226 grams) cream cheese, softened
Seasonings:
- 2 tablespoons everything bagel seasoning
Fats:
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Instructions
- Prepare the tortillas by generously coating each one with a smooth layer of softened cream cheese, ensuring complete and even coverage.
- Liberally dust the cream cheese surface with everything bagel seasoning, creating a flavorful and aromatic base.
- Carefully roll each tortilla into a compact, tight cylinder, applying gentle pressure to maintain a uniform shape.
- Slice the rolled tortilla into bite-sized medallions, approximately 1-inch thick, which will yield around 6 pieces per tortilla.
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium temperature, melting butter until it shimmers and coats the pan’s surface.
- Gently place the tortilla bites into the heated pan, allowing them to sizzle and transform into golden, crispy delights.
- Cook each side for roughly 60 seconds, rotating to achieve an even, crunchy exterior with a rich, golden-brown color.
- Transfer the hot, crispy tortilla bites to a serving platter, presenting them immediately to capture their maximum crunch and flavor.
Notes
- Soften cream cheese completely at room temperature for smooth, easy spreading without tearing tortillas.
- Choose flour tortillas for best flexibility and golden-brown crispy results when frying.
- Toast everything bagel seasoning briefly in dry pan before sprinkling to enhance its aromatic flavor profile.
- Use unsalted butter to control sodium levels and prevent overly salty bites.
