Mexican Pigs In A Blanket Recipe Tips:
- Cutting the cream cheese covered tortillas is a bit messy. I’ve used both a pizza cutter and a large knife, so if one isn’t working for you, try switching to another to see if that works better.
- I used mild taco sauce, green chiles, and salsa. If you like things spicier, try the medium or hot versions instead, but keep in mind who you will be serving them to and what they prefer. Kids might like the mild ones best.
- Try using a green taco sauce or salsa verde to switch things up a bit.
- This recipe calls for a shredded Mexican cheese blend, but you can use whatever shredded cheese you have on hand.
- If you are serving these at a party, try making them ahead of time. You can reheat them in the oven before serving.
- Or make the Mexican Pigs In A Blanket, but refrigerate them BEFORE cooking them. Then, pop them in the oven before serving. Since they are chilled, they might take a few more minutes to cook.

The hardest part is spreading the cream cheese mixture on TOP of the refried beans. I do it using a pastry bag and zip-zaging it over. Otherwise, it’s a messy job!
