A delightful appetizer featuring caramelized onions and creamy cheese rolled in tortillas and baked to perfection.
Peel and slice the onions thinly.
Thinly sliced onions cook evenly and caramelize better.
Melt the butter in a frying pan over medium heat.
Use medium heat to avoid burning the butter.
Add the onions to the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until caramelized, about 20 minutes.
Stir occasionally to ensure even caramelization without burning.
Transfer the caramelized onions to a mixing bowl and let cool slightly.
Cooling the onions prevents the cheese from melting prematurely.
Mix the cream cheese and shredded cheddar cheese into the onions until well combined.
Ensure the cheese is evenly distributed for consistent flavor.
Spread the onion mixture evenly over each tortilla.
Spread the mixture to the edges for uniform rolls.
Roll each tortilla tightly and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Chilling helps the rolls hold their shape when sliced.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even baking.
Slice the rolls into 1-inch pieces and place them upright on a greased baking sheet.
Use a sharp knife for clean cuts.
Bake for 10 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
Keep an eye on the bites to prevent over-browning.
Serve warm and enjoy your Cheesy Onion Tortilla Bites!
Pair with your favorite dipping sauce for added flavor.
