Whip up these smooth tortilla snacks super quick and watch them vanish. Crispy and golden on the outside with creamy, tangy insides and loads of savory zesty flavor — you won't believe how tasty they are until they're gone.
First time I whipped these up was when my friends showed up for game night and I had zero time. Everyone kept grabbing more and now they always show up hoping for a fresh batch.
Tasty Ingredients
- Everything bagel seasoning: Brings that great punchy flavor blend, all in one shaker
- Flour tortillas: Use the 8-inch size, they’re perfect for bite-sized munchies
- Unsalted butter: Lets you get the crunch while you decide on salt levels
- Cream cheese: Needs to be soft (let it warm up) so it spreads easily
Simple Steps
- Pan fry until tasty:
- Melt your butter in a pan on medium just till it’s bubbly. Pop in the tortilla bites, cut side down, fry about a minute till they’re golden and crunchy. Flip and cook the other side the same way.
- Slice them up:
- Once you roll the tortillas nice and tight, grab a sharp knife and slice into 1-inch pieces, usually six per roll, plus those little ends if you like.
- Add the seasoning:
- Give your cream cheese a blanket of everything seasoning, making sure it covers every bit for even, tasty flavor in every mouthful.
- Spread that cream cheese:
- Smooth a thin layer of soft cream cheese all over your tortilla, right up to the edges. Don’t skimp, but don’t overdo it—just enough to cover.

When my picky nephew tried these for the first time, he crushed almost half the plate. Something about that crispy shell and creamy center wins over even the toughest snack critics.
Crispy Air Fryer Option
Air fryers make these bites extra crunchy while keeping the middle smooth. Just brush with butter first, then toss 'em in at 400°F for five to six minutes. Way less babysitting than pan frying and just as delicious.
Prep Ahead Secrets
You can get these put together up to a whole day before your party. Stack them between parchment and stash in the fridge. When you’re ready, fry straight from cold — just add an extra 30 seconds per side to heat them all the way through.
Switch It Up
Want different flavors? Try swapping in taco seasoning for something spicy, or a mix of garlic and Italian herbs for a fresh twist. You can also stir in chopped veggies or herbs into the cream cheese before you spread it.

Best Ways to Serve
Great straight up, but even better dipped. Set them out with hot honey, guacamole, or some warm marinara for dipping. They make a killer base for snack boards at any party.
Common Questions
- → Is it okay to use another seasoning instead?
Go for it! Try taco spice, chili powder, or even sprinkle on some parmesan. Just use what you like best for flavor.
- → How far ahead can I prep these?
You can roll and slice them in advance, stash them in your fridge, then fry or air fry right before guests arrive for the best crunch.
- → Which tortillas should I use?
Soft flour tortillas work the smoothest since they're easy to roll, but give whole wheat or gluten-free a shot if you need something different.
- → Will these get crispy in the air fryer?
For sure! Brush the bites with a bit of melted butter, set the air fryer to 400°F, and let them go for about 5 or 6 minutes until golden and crisp.
- → Are these already good for vegetarians?
Yep, they're veggie-friendly! If you have special preferences, just grab dairy-free cream cheese and check labels.
