a simple one i learned in HS cooking class:

take the tortilla roll, spread with mayo or sour cream, lay the lettuce down, then the tomatoes, and then meat of choice!. roll into a "burrito" shaped and stick toothpicks down the length about an inch apart!. cut into slices at same width!.

If you buy Norwegian potato lefse from the grocery store (I get mine at HyVee), they are like tortillas, but already rectangular!.!.!.so it's pretty easy to fill and roll them!.

Here are my two other favorite roll-ups:

Take rectangular slices of deli ham and dry with paper towels!. Spread cream cheese on the rectangle!. Place spear of canned asparagus at the base and roll longways!. Then slice the roll into bite-sized pieces!. It's retro and fabulous!.

Next!.!.!.Mix 2/3 part cream cheese with 1/3 part grated cheddar!. Add in some canned jalapeno pieces and some chopped black olives!. Spread the mixture on Pilsbury Crescent Roll Dough (Separate the dough into rectangles first -- that's two triangles per rectangle -- make sure to press the seam together so stuff doesn't leak out)!. Then roll up the rectangle and cut the log into 3/4 inch slices!. Place on a baking sheet and follow the instructions on the dough for temperature and time!.

As far as display!.!.!.any rolls look fany and colorful enough without much display!. You could put some fresh sprigs of mint or cilantro on the plate if you wanted!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
