Rolled-up and sliced, these tortilla sandwiches are ideal for parties.
Rolled up tortillas combined with vegetables and cream cheese that you cut into circles are a perfect party dish. They're easy to eat and serve a large crowd, making them ideal to bring to a party or offer on passed serving trays. This is a treat best made a day ahead as the cream cheese needs to harden slightly so you can cut the rolled sandwiches into bite-sized servings.
Instructions
1. Take the cream cheese out of the refrigerator two hours ahead of time to let it soften.
2. Use a sharp knife and cutting board to chop up the green onions, half the bunch of cilantro and the fresh tomatoes, if you aren't using salsa.
3. Cut the edges of each of the tortillas to make them square.
4. Add all of other vegetables, except the salsa or tomatoes, to a mixing bowl and mix well. Add the cream cheese, once it's soft enough to manipulate and mix with the vegetables. Drain the salsa of its juices, if you aren't using fresh tomatoes. Add the salsa or tomatoes once everything else is mixed.
5. Spread the mixture on each of the large tortillas.
6. Roll up the filled tortillas. Add a dab of the mixture to each end to finish filling up the roll.
7. Put the rolled-up tortillas in a plastic container or foil and store in the refrigerator overnight. If you're in a rush, store for two to three hours to ensure the cream cheese is solid enough to cut easily.
8. Take the rolled up tortillas from the fridge and slice into "sushi" -- . Place on a platter and serve.
