Easy summer wrap/picnic idea



  • Party Pinwheels, or Turkey Cream Cheese Wraps
  • (from allrecipes.com) 

  • 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1 (1 ounce) package ranch dressing mix
  • 2 green onions, minced
  • 4 (12 inch) flour tortillas
  • 1/2 cup red bell pepper, diced
  • 1/2 cup diced celery
  • 1 (2 ounce) can sliced black olives
  • 1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
  • deli turkey (optional- if you want a meal, not appetizer)

Directions

  1. In a medium-size mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, ranch dressing mix, and green onions. Spread this mixture on each tortilla. Sprinkle red pepper, celery, black olives, and cheese (if you'd like) over the cream cheese mixture. Roll up the tortillas, then wrap them tightly in aluminum foil.
  2. Chill 2 hours or overnight. Cut off ends of the rolls, and slice the chilled rolls into 1 inch slices.

These are addictive little snacks!  You can also make them an easy picnic/summer meal by not cutting them up and making individual wraps.  You can use chive and onion cream cheese too, to save time. Use whatever veggies you like or have on hand. Very versatile and easy!
