what about pinwheels-not the ham ones!. You get a small thing of sour cream, 2 pkgs of cream cheese, soften them, and add one can of green chillies, and a package of Hidden Valley Fiesta Ranch dry mix!. Mix it all up, and spread on the big soft tortilla's, roll them up, and you can stick them in the fridge in wet papernapkins until you are ready to slice them!. Serve with Salsa!. It's so quick cheap, and delicious!. People always make me make them, plus they are easy to eat, just use toothpicks!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
