ingredients
- 1 (14.5 ounce) can Red Gold Petite Diced Tomatoes, drained
- 8 ounces (1 block) cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup medium hot sauce (optional)
- 1/2 bell pepper (red, orange, or yellow), finely diced
- 1 jalapeño, seeded and diced
- 8 ounces (1 cup) shredded cheddar cheese, divided
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
- 3 to 4 10-inch flour tortillas
- Sour cream, for serving
Method
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350℉. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, add the Red Gold Petite Diced Tomatoes, cream cheese, and hot sauce (if using). Stir to combine using either a hand mixer on low speed or a fork.
Step 3
Add the bell pepper, jalapeño pepper, half of the cheddar cheese, and breadcrumbs. Stir until the ingredients are evenly incorporated and the filling is spreadable.
Step 4
Divide the filling over the tortillas by spooning an even amount into the center of each. Using a spatula or metal spoon, carefully spread the filling over each tortilla until they are completely covered by an even layer.
Step 5
Roll up each tortilla and cut them into 1-inch slices on a slight angle.
Step 6
Arrange the antojitos on the prepared baking sheets so they aren’t touching. Sprinkle a pinch of the remaining cheddar cheese on top of each.
Step 7
Bake for 10 minutes, then turn the broiler on high. Broil for another 2 to 5 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly.
Step 8
Serve warm with sour cream for dipping.
