Ingredients
- 5 oz. cream cheese softened
- ⅓ c. mayonnaise
- ¼ tsp. garlic powder
- ¼ tsp. onion powder
- ⅛ tsp. cayenne pepper
- 3 c. shredded cheddar cheese ~ 8 oz. block
- 4 oz. jar pimentos drained
- 3 Tbsp. minced jalapenos
- 4 regular size flour tortillas or whole wheat wraps
Instructions
- In a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat together cream cheese, mayonnaise, garlic powder, onion powder and cayenne pepper until mixed.
- Add shredded cheese to cream cheese mixture and mix for a few seconds until incorporated. Fold in pimentos and diced jalapenos.
- Spread pimento cheese mixture onto tortillas, leaving a small ¼” margin. Roll up tightly into a log. Wrap in saran wrap and place in fridge for 4 hours to chill.
- Remove unsliced logs from fridge. Using a serrated knife, trim off the ends of the logs and then cut into even slices.
Notes
Mayo: Use a high quality mayonnaise, I recommend Duke’s Mayonnaise.
Cheddar Cheese: Be sure to shred your own cheese for the best consistency in your pimento cheese spread.
Substitutions: If you don’t want to make with jalapeños, omit and substitute with 1 Tbsp. minced onion.
Tortillas: I like to use Ole Xtreme Wellness High Fiber Tortilla but regular flour tortillas work too.
