Directions: |
Directions:Make the herbed cream cheese by combining the softened cream cheese with the chives, parsley, basil, salt and pepper, and lemon juice. Spread cream cheese in a thin layer over the tortillas being sure that it extends to the edge of the wrap. Lay ingredients down the middle of the tortilla. For the turkey roll ups, use turkey, carrots, and cucumber. For a "salad" rollup, use lettuce, carrots, cucumber, and avocado. Let the veggies extend past the edges on either side. Roll up the tortillas as tightly as they'll go, then wrap each rollup in plastic wrap and refrigerate for one hour.
To slice, cut each rollup exactly in half, then line up the two halves and cut them in half again. Stand the end pieces up so that the veggies stick out the top. To make dainty sandwiches for special occasions cut the ends of each roll and slice the roll into 3/4 inch pieces |
