There is a story for this recipe. Several years ago I “invented” it. For the longest time I would not share it as I planned to one day enter it in a recipe contest. But then Jean Pare published a NEARLY IDENTICAL recipe in her book “Starters” and I knew no one would ever believe I had it first. (But I’m not bitter – ha ha). Moral of the story? I plan to submit my last “original” recipe in the next contest I see! Enjoy.
Some notes:
· I am not usually picky about brands but since there are so few ingredients in this recipe I have found that you need to stick to the brand names.
· You CAN NOT substitute “light” or “non-fat” for any of the ingredients. The texture and taste end up wrong. It’s one of those “don’t worry, just enjoy it” recipes.
· This mixture is enough to fill 5 of the “burrito” size flour tortillas (the big ones). If you double the recipe it’s enough for the whole pack.
Instructions:
Let the cream cheese soften (either at room temperature or zap it for a few seconds in the microwave).
Mush it up but good. Add the mayo, green chillies and dressing mix. Stir to mix.
Add the shredded cheese – stir some more.
Take one of the tortillas. You want to take a good size blob to spread on the tortilla. If you have one of the big tortillas a 1/3 cup measurement is about right per tortilla. You want enough so that you have a nice layer. Spread the mixture on almost the whole tortilla. You want to leave a little edge at the top as it makes it easier to roll. Roll it up.
Make the rest of the tortilla wraps. Put these on a plate and cover with plastic wrap (or do what I do). They fit perfectly in the big rectangular Gladware container. Keep in the fridge overnight. This must be done because they will be too soft to cut immediately and the flavour is better if they sit until the next day.
Cut each roll up into 10 or so “rounds”.
There you have it. Maggiemay’s Nearly Famous Cheesy Roll-ups! Take them to a potluck and watch them swoon. When I brought them to work people would fight over the last one.

I made these for a work food day today, and everyone LOVED them. I had never made roll ups before. They were so easy. Having a 6 month old, and also needing to prepare something for the next day is a heavy task..these were so simple, and so delicious!!!
