Ingredients
For the Wraps:
6 small tortillas (flour or corn)
8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
2 tbsp green onions, finely chopped
1 small garlic clove, minced
¼ cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 tbsp olive oil or melted butter (for brushing)
For the Spicy Honey Drizzle:
3 tbsp honey
½ tsp chili flakes or hot sauce
½ tsp lemon juice (optional, for tang)
Instructions
Preheat the Oven:
Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Prepare the Filling:
In a medium bowl, mix cream cheese, green onions, garlic, shredded cheese, salt, and pepper until creamy and well combined.
Assemble the Wraps:
Lay out the tortillas and spoon 2 tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture into the center of each. Roll them tightly into logs, tucking in the ends if desired.
Brush and Bake:
Place wraps on the baking tray seam-side down. Brush each lightly with olive oil or melted butter.
Bake for 12–15 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden and crispy.
Make the Spicy Honey Drizzle:
In a small bowl, whisk together honey, chili flakes, and lemon juice. Warm slightly if desired for easier pouring.
Serve:
Drizzle the spicy honey over the baked wraps right before serving. Serve warm and enjoy that creamy-crispy-sweet kick!
Tips for Best Results
Extra Crunch: Bake a few minutes longer for an ultra-crispy shell.
Add-ins: Try adding chopped spinach, jalapeños, or cooked chicken to the filling for more flavor.
Air Fryer Option: Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway.
Storage: Keep leftovers refrigerated for up to 2 days; reheat in the oven or air fryer.
Q&A Section
Q1: Can I make these ahead of time?
Yes! Assemble the wraps and refrigerate them (unbaked) for up to 24 hours. Bake just before serving for best crispiness.
Q2: What can I use instead of honey?
You can use maple syrup or agave syrup for a vegan-friendly version.
Q3: Are these spicy?
The spice level is mild to moderate, depending on how much chili you add. You can adjust it to your liking.
Q4: Can I fry them instead of baking?
Absolutely! Shallow fry in a little oil until golden brown if you prefer an extra-crunchy texture.
Q5: What can I serve them with?
These pair beautifully with sweet chili sauce, ranch, or even garlic yogurt dip.
