FEEDS: 2-10

WHAT YOU’LL NEED:

• large burrito tortillas
• whipped cream cheese, flavored with chives and onion
• roast beef or turkey breast, sliced deli thin
• sliced ripe avocado
• sliced tomatoes, laid out on paper towels to absorb excess moisture
• Mixed greens

LET'S COOK

Place a tortilla on the cutting board. Spread with an even, thin layer of the whipped cream cheese. Starting at the edge closest to you, lay on a couple slices of the roast beef.

Next, line up some ripe avocado, then the tomato slices and finally the lettuce. Starting closest to you, roll the whole thing like a jelly roll.

Cut them in half and eat right away or reserve in a plastic bag in the refrigerator.

MORE IDEAS:

You could do this with ham and Swiss cheese, tuna fish and chives, even smoked trout pate' and scallions. Once you master the procedure, let your imagination run wild.

Try herbed chevre instead of the cream cheese. And, thin sliced red onion is a nice addition.

For a fun canapé, simply slice the roll-ups into 3/4 inch slices and serve on a tray with drinks before dinner.

Kids love these as lunch sandwiches.
