Preparation

  1. In medium bowl, mix cream cheese spread, mayonnaise, mustard, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, salt and red pepper. Divide mixture among tortillas, spreading evenly over tortillas, leaving 1/2-inch border. Top half of each tortilla with cheese, pimientos, green onions and jalapeño chiles.
  2. Starting from side with toppings, roll up very tightly. Wrap with plastic wrap. Refrigerate at least 2 hours but no longer than 24 hours.
  3. To serve, cut 1 inch from end of each roll, and discard. Cut each roll into 4 (1 1/2-inch) slices.

Expert Tips

  • One 8-oz package of cream cheese can be used instead of cream cheese spread for these pimiento cheese bites. Soften cream cheese as directed on package.
  • If you don’t have cheddar-Monterey Jack cheese blend for these pimiento cheese appetizers, shredded medium cheddar cheese can be substituted.
