Salsa Roll Ups


Salsa Roll Ups (slightly adapted from Kraft Foods, approx. 10 servings depending on size of cut, Total Time: 10 min.)

Always a hit!

Ingredients
·         4 oz.  (1/2 of 8-oz. pkg.) Neufchatel Cheese, softened
·         3 T.  Salsa (chunky style works well)
·         ½ cup  Mexican Style shredded cheese Four Cheese
·         ½ tsp.  chili powder
·         4 flour tortillas (6 inch) – I used sourdough wraps

Directions
1.      Mix first four ingredients and spread on tortillas.
2.      Roll up tortillas tightly. Cut each crosswise into 5 slices.

Another recipe that you can add or detract to depending on your taste.  I used Medium Salsa (probably about 4 T), but you can always use Mild or Hot depending on your comfort level.  I also used taco cheese, which added a little zing to the dish.  Adding a little cumin or cayenne would also put a nice spin on things.  At a picnic I brought this to, guests loved the spicy kick.  It is fairly healthy with calories, protein, and carbs for a snack/appetizer.    

When spreading the mixture on the tortillas, make sure that you leave some room around the edges for any run-off.
