Serve warm. My husband and I experienced something called antojitos (Mexican inspired appetizer) at a restaurant once, but they were deep-fried and not spicy enough for us. I tried recreating them at home, baking instead of deep frying and adding more spice. This is the recipe I use now because it is quick and yummy. We love these little treats and we always share them with our friends.

Preparation

Preheat oven to 400ºF. In medium bowl, beat cream cheese, salsa, and chili pepper flakes until smooth. Stir in green pepper and onion. Spread 2 tbsp of cream cheese mixture evenly on each tortilla. Sprinkle each tortilla with 2 tbsp of grated cheese. Roll up tortilla and fold ends inside the roll to prevent filling from spilling out. Place on baking sheet. Bake for 5 minutes or until tortillas are golden brown. Let cool for 5 minutes and cut each tortilla roll into 6 pieces. Note: green pepper can be substituted for red pepper and 1 tsp of finely chopped jalapenos can be used instead of chili pepper flakes.
