Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350ºF (175ºC) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, diced green chilies, shredded cheddar, finely chopped red onion, and bell pepper. Add sour cream, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper to taste. Mix thoroughly until smooth.
  3. Spread an even layer of the cheesy filling over each tortilla. Roll tightly from one edge and cut into five bite-sized pieces at a 45-degree angle.
  4. Place the sliced antojitos on the prepared baking sheet and bake for about 8 minutes until golden. Broil for an additional 5 minutes, watching closely.
  5. Allow the antojitos to cool for a couple of minutes before serving with basil pesto or sour cream for dipping.
