Kitchen Q&A
- → Can I use other cheeses?
Yes, you can swap cheddar for Swiss, provolone, or pepper jack for different flavor profiles.
- → Should these be served chilled or at room temperature?
They taste great chilled and hold together better; refrigerate for 15 minutes before slicing.
- → Is it possible to prepare ahead for parties?
Absolutely. Assemble, chill, and slice before serving to keep pieces fresh and neat.
- → Are there ways to spice up the filling?
Try flavored cream cheese like garlic or jalapeño, or add chopped herbs and onions for more zest.
- → Do these contain common allergens?
Yes, tortillas and cheese contain gluten and dairy. Confirm ingredient labels if needed.

Both options work well. Sliced pieces are ideal for finger foods, while whole rolls make for a hearty bite.
