Antijitoes are a fusion of two delicious snack foods: antipasto and taquitos. These cheesy, bite-sized appetizers are perfect for game day gatherings or as a fun snack to enjoy with friends and family. Made with flour tortillas, cheddar cheese, cream cheese, and a mixture of banana and red bell peppers, these appetizers are a tasty and creative take on classic antipasto platters. The cream cheese and cheddar cheese mixture is a great base for any combination of ingredients you have on hand, making Antijitoes a versatile snack option.

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2.	In a small bowl, mix together the cheddar cheese, banana pepper, red bell pepper, and cream cheese.
3.	Spoon the cheese mixture onto each flour tortilla, spreading it evenly.
4.	Roll up each tortilla tightly and slice into 1 inch pieces.
5.	Place the slices cut side-up onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned and the cheese is melted.

PROS

Antijitoes are quick and easy to make, perfect for a crowd and a great addition to any game day spread.

CONS

These appetizers are high in calories and can be addicting, so be sure to enjoy them in moderation as part of a balanced diet.

They can also be messy to eat if the cheese starts to ooze out.
