Jalapeño Roll-Ups
8 Oz. Cream Cheese
1 Can Green Chiles (or) 2 To 3 Jalapeños -- finely chopped
10 Large Soft Tortillas
1/2 C. Sour Cream
2 T. Taco Or Picante Sauce

In a bowl combine cream cheese, sour cream, peppers and taco sauce until
blended. Lay a tortilla out flat and spread a thin layer of cream cheese mixture
on it. Then, tightly roll up tortilla (like a jelly roll). Wrap in Saran
wrap and refrigerate from 24 hours to 4 days. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
After refrigeration, unwrap
rolls and slice in about 1/4 " thick slices. Serve on a platter with parsley
or Boston lettuce and can be served with salsa for dipping. This recipe
makes about 80-100 slices
