Instructions
1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, diced beef, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped green onions, and a sprinkle of Accent seasoning. Mix until the ingredients are evenly combined, creating a flavorful filling.
2
Place a tortilla on a clean surface. Spread a generous amount of the filling mixture evenly over the tortilla, ensuring that you cover it from edge to edge, just as you would when making traditional pinwheels.
3
Carefully roll the tortilla tightly, ensuring the filling stays inside, similar to the way you would form pinwheels. Avoid cutting the rolled tortilla; instead, keep it intact to resemble a diploma.
4
Using a 6-8 inch length of colored ribbon that corresponds with your graduate's school colors, tie the ribbon around the center of the rolled tortilla. This will help mimic the appearance of a diploma.
5
Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and filling until all ingredients are used up. Arrange the finished Celebration Roll Diplomas on a platter, and enjoy!
