These little things are always such a big hit at family gatherings and potlucks. They're really easy to make and are even cuter on display. The original recipe called for diced black olives, but those didn't go over too well with my family. I've even heard of people adding onions, omitting the seasoning or going meatless, but I've never tried that. You can use different flavors of tortillas or lawash bread also. Lawash bread is something like a tortilla, only thinner. Actually, it's the kind of bread that's used for "wrap" style sandwiches.
Hey! During Christmas time, you could use the red tomato lawash and the spinach lawash bread to make these, then arrange them together on a platter for pretty Christmas color appetizers!
OK, I'm blubbering again. Here's the recipe:
1 80z brick of cream cheese (softened)
1 pack of hidden valley ranch dry ranch dressing
1 8oz bag of cheddar cheese
1 lb turkey or ham slices (lunchmeat)
10-12 tortillas or lawash bread
1. In a large bowl, stir together the cream cheese and ranch dressing until thoroughly blended.
2. Gently stir in cheddar cheese.
3. Place tortillas on flat surface, spread cream cheese mixture over one side of tortilla,
4. Place one (or two if you're using the big tortillas) piece of turkey or ham on top of cream cheese mixture.
5. Starting at one end, roll tortilla to the other end.
6. Slice rolled tortilla into 1 inch slices, secure with toothpick.
Arrange on tray and serve.
