Tortilla Roll-ups


Here's two of my favorite roll-up recipes - Mexican chicken and Italian roll-ups.  They're a great appetizer for a party, or you can slice them in bigger halves for lunch or a picnic.

  3. My husband & I just had the Mexican version for lunch. The cream cheese filling was good, but a bit too rich for a "sandwich" or a meal. To me the spread would be better as an appetizer with crackers. For that reason I wouldn't make this again, unless I was using it as a spread for crackers. But thanks for sharing.
