Tortilla Bites

Recipe by AlexPrep: 5 minCook: 10 minTotal: 15 minServes 2Easy

These crisp little pinwheels take one tortilla, cream cheese, everything-bagel seasoning and a brush of butter, and the trick is spreading the cheese right to the edges so the roll seals itself and holds together when sliced. Cut the log into 4 cm (1½ in) rounds, set them on parchment and bake at 180°C (350°F) for 10 minutes. They are ready when the exposed edges turn golden and crisp; the centres stay soft and creamy. The butter on top carries the seasoning and helps the tops brown.

Instructions

  1. 1

    Spread cream cheese all the way to the edges of the tortilla — the more the better.

  2. 2

    Sprinkle generously with everything-bagel seasoning, edge to edge.

  3. 3

    Roll the tortilla into a tight log.

  4. 4

    Slice the log into bite-sized rounds, about 4 cm each.

  5. 5

    Line the rounds up on a parchment-lined baking tray. Brush the tops with melted butter and add a final pinch of everything-bagel seasoning.

  6. 6

    Bake at 180°C / 350°F for 10 minutes, until the edges turn golden and crisp.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make them ahead?

Roll and slice ahead, refrigerate, then bake fresh for the best crunch. Baked bites keep a day in an airtight container and re-crisp in the oven.

No everything-bagel seasoning?

Mix your own: sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried garlic, dried onion and flaky salt. Or use za’atar for a different but equally savoury hit.

Can I air-fry them?

Yes — air-fry at 180°C for about 6–8 minutes until golden. Watch closely, as the thin rounds crisp fast.
