A little contribution...Tortilla Roll Up App

Today was the retirement party for Karen (the lady who has been training me for my new position)...yes, she had the job for 37 years & is now venturing off to enjoy the little things in life...they asked me if they should plan on my retirement party being 37 years from now, & I said, "don't plan on that!," with a little chuckle of course to make it not sound TOO serious:)  

For the party I made a tortilla roll up recipe with salsa that is an easy go to for an appetizer that everyone always loves & there never seems to be another app like it at any party!

Ingredients:

- 3 containers 1/3 reduced fat cream cheese
- 2 cans green chiles
- 1 can diced black olives
- 2 packages low carb flour tortillas 
- 1 package taco seasoning
- 1 jar salsa (your preference on the brand)

Directions:

1)  Mix thoroughly:  cream cheese, green chiles, 1/2 can diced black olives (unless you are a huge olive fan, go all out & use the whole thing), & 1/2 of the package of taco seasoning & add a dash of salt.  

2)  Spread a large spoonful of the mixture onto one side of each tortilla, & tightly roll each tortilla up like a burrito.  

3)  Stack all of the rolled up tortillas onto a plate & chill the the refrigerator for 30 minutes.  

4)  Remove rolls from the refrigerator & cut each roll into bite sized pieces.  If you would like to make them easier to handle put a toothpick into each piece.  

5)  Last of all, put rolls onto a pretty platter that you want to show off, pour the salsa into a bowl (matching of course:)  & dig in!!!
