 IMPORTANT:  Choose fresh feeling flour tortillas from your grocery
 store. Make sure that they are very flexible.  (Some brands are much
 better than others)  WARNING - Get fresh tortillas from BJ - ones that
 have not been refrigerated - Most supermarket versions will not work.

 When ready to serve, slice "cooks choice" slice off each end of rolled
 tortilla. (Those usually are not fully stuffed - but taste good)

 Each of these recipes will make 3 (or more) pinwheels, depending
 on how thick you spread the fillings.

 Carrot Red Bell Pepper:

 Combine onion soup mix (OR Ranch dressing mix) and softened cream
 cheese and set aside. Add hot sauce. Shred carrots and finely dice
 red bell pepper.  Combine with cream cheese mixture and let rest for
 1 hour on counter top for flavors to mingle.

 Using about 1/2 cup of filling spread cream cheese
 mixture over each flour tortilla, roll up tightly in jelly roll style.
 Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least two hours - better if
 made the night before.  Slice into 1/2 inch slices.

 Black Bean/Cheddar

 Place cream cheese and shredded cheddar cheese in food processor -
 whirl around until completely incorporated. Stir in salsa.  Set aside.

 Drain and rinse black beans.  Place in food processor, whirl around
 until mixture is almost a paste.  Set aside.

 Spread about 1/2 cup of black bean mixture on each tortilla, top with
 a about a 1/2 cup layer of cream cheese mixture.  Roll up in a tight
 jelly roll style, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least two
 hours but best when refrigerated over night. Slice in 1/2 inch slices
 to serve.

 Ham/Swiss

 Spread each tortilla with thin layer of cream cheese.  Place two
 slices of ham on top of cream cheese.  Spread thin layer of cream
 cheese on top of ham, place two slices Swiss Cheese on top of that
 cream cheese.  Spread thin layer of cream cheese on top of cheese.
 Roll up jelly roll style. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for
 several hours - best if refrigerated over night. Slice in 1/2 inc
 slices.

 Spinach/Jalapeno Pepper

 Cook spinach as directed on package.  Place in colander or strainer,
 rinse with cold water to cool.  Place spinach in cheesecloth and
 squeeze as much water out of it as possible.

 Combine cream cheese and chiles in food processor and process until
 smooth.  Add spinach, process until just blended.

 Place one tortilla on work surface, spread 1/3 of the spinach mixture
 over tortilla, leaving a 1/2 inch border on one side.  Place two rows
 of strips of roasted pepper, piecing together if necessary across
 tortilla about two inches apart. Roll tortilla toward border, making
 sure the beginning is tightly rolled, but easing pressure as rolling
 continues to avoid forcing out filling.  Wrap in plastic wrap and
 refrigerate several hours or overnight .  Slice into 1/2 inch slices.

 Good for picnics.  Transport well and keep fresh and tasty.
