Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425 F.
Place 16 wooden toothpicks in a small bowl of water, set aside to soak.
Line 1 large (or 2 small) baking sheet with parchment paper, set aside.
Place all the Filling Ingredients into a small bowl, mix well until all the ingredients are thoroughly mixed, set aside.
Place a tortilla onto a cutting board, then cut the tortilla in half. Place 1 Tablespoon of the filling mix in the center of the tortilla. Lay 3 to 4 asparagus spears in the center on top of the filling mixture. Fold each side of the tortilla over the top to create a bundle, then secure the bundle with a toothpick by spearing it through the tortilla and directly through a piece of asparagus, then place each bundle onto the baking sheets. Repeat until all the bundles are made.
Place the baking sheet into a preheated 400 F oven, bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the tortillas are golden (see notes on baking time*). Watch them very closely to avoid burning.
When the tortillas are lightly golden and crisp, remove from the oven and allow to rest for several minutes, then gently twist to remove the toothpicks, sprinkle with fresh dill fronds, serve, and enjoy.
