Source of Recipe


I saw this on an old TV show years ago from a guest chef, can't remember who.






Recipe Introduction


Any type of cream cheese can be used, but for this I prefer either plain cream cheese or vegetable flavored.





List of Ingredients



• 1 pkg flour tortillas
  
• 1 pkg cream cheese
  
• 1/2 lb roast beef, thinly sliced from the deli
  
• 1 head of lettuce
  
• 1 bag of cheddar cheese, shredded or whatever type of cheese you want
  
• baby carrots, chopped fine or grated
  
• aluminum foil or waxed paper
  
• toothpicks
  






Instructions



1. Tear off a piece of aluminum foil so the size of the tortilla you have will be able to be rolled up in to keep in the fridge with.
   
2. Place tortilla on top of foil.
   
3. Spread with creem cheese in the center until you get to about one inch away from the edge.
   
4. Place a piece of beef or two on top of the cream cheese.
   
5. Place some lettuce on beef.
   
6. Sprinkle with shredded cheese.
   
7. Sprinkle on top of that the finely chopped carrots.
   
8. Roll up the tortilla like a jelly roll. **I sometimes put a little cream cheese on each end and tuck it in. The cream cheese on the end secures it.
   
9. Roll up in the foil or waxed paper and chill for an hour or so before eating.
   
10. You can cut these up and secure them with toothpicks for appetizers OR eat them whole as a sandwich for lunch.
    






Final Comments


I like roast beef for these, but other lunch/deli meats can be used, too.
