Antojitos

So we all have those favourite restaurants with those menu items that we LOVE and would do just about anything to get our little fingers onto that recipe and be able to scale it down to normal people portions.

The fiancé and I went out on a date night last week and went to Montana's Cookhouse. We normally just get the spinach dip thingy but branched out and went for the Antojitos. Yum. Well I figured I could make them just as good if not better.

A quick google search led me to a copycat recipe. I changed a few things as we were just having them for dinner so wanted more substance to them.

Here is my recipe:

Antojitos

Ingredients:

1 pkg cream cheese
1 pkg MacLaren's Imperial Cheese
1/2 jalapeño pepper
1/8 cup bread crumbs
1/2 of 1 green pepper
1/2 of 1 red pepper
5 tortillas
1 fl oz hot sauce
1 cup shredded cheddar
1/2 cup green onions
1/2 cup cooked chicken

Preparation:

1. Mince jalapeño, bell peppers and green onion.
2. Mix cream cheese, imperial cheese, jalapeños and 1/2 of green onion together. Set aside.
3. Chop cooked chicken into small pieces.
4. Mix rest of green onions, chicken and bell peppers together
5. Mix 3/4 of chicken and veggie mixture with cream cheese, bread crumbs and hot sauce.
4. Spread cream cheese mixture on tortillas.
5. Sprinkle remaining chopped vegetables and shredded cheddar over the tortillas.
6. Roll the tortillas.
7. Cut 5 or 6 perpendicular lines in the top of the wraps.
8. Store or bake.

Baking:

1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. Spread garlic butter on top of the wraps for a golden colour.
3. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown and crisp on top.


**My notes:
---I found I needed to broil them to get them nice and brown on top.
---Make sure that you leave space between all the Antojitos so they get crisp all the way around.
---Dip that Montana's serves with them is sour cream with a dollop of pesto on top.

**So coming back and re-reading this after hitting "post" I realised something. The recipe says to cut lines into the roll ups. I cut all the way through and seperated them. I'm going to have to try this again NOT cutting all the way through and laying them down on the baking tray.
