Cook’s Note:  Be careful not to overstuff your filling or rolling will be difficult. Remember that spinach leaves have lots of moisture that will be added to the sandwich.

  • Lightly spread each flour tortilla with soft onion chive cream cheese.
  • Add a layer of spinach or basil leaves, leaving about 1-inch border from final rolled edge.
  • Divide pepper strips among the tortillas, arranging strips over the leaves1 to 2 inches apart.
  • Top with meat slices, leaving final rolled edge meatless. Spread 1 teaspoon mayonnaise over the meat on each tortilla.
  • Roll up the tortillas tightly.
  • Wrap each roll in plastic wrap; chill for about 1 to 2 hours for easier cutting and to blend flavors.
    To Serve: cut each tortilla roll-up into about 1-1/2-inch-wide slices (straight or diagonal cuts as desired.) Skewer each of the cut tortilla rolls onto decorative toothpicks. Makes 3 to 4 snacks per tortilla.

    Yield: About 12 snacks
