APPETIZER TORTILLA PINWHEELS
A friend gave me this recipe, and whenever I serve these tortilla pinwheel sandwiches, people ask me for the recipe, too! The cream cheese pinwheels can be made ahead of time and sliced just before serving, leaving you time for other last-minute party preparations. -Pat Waymire, Yellow Springs, Ohio

CREAM CHEESE ROLL-UPS
Steps:
- In a medium bowl, mix together the cream cheese, salsa and onions until fully combined. Spread the tortillas with the mixture, leaving a 1/2-inch edge. Top each with bacon and ham, then roll into tight cylinders and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least one hour. Remove from fridge, discard the plastic wrap and cut each roll into 1-inch pieces, discarding the uneven ends (or eating them while preparing, like I did!). Each roll should yield eight pieces. If you like, before cutting, stick toothpicks in the rolls at 1-inch intervals; it makes serving a snap.
CHICKEN SALSA WRAPS
A versatile recipe, add other veg, or make it hotter by adding chili if you like. I serve this with a green salad. For a lower fat, but just as tasty meal use non fat greek style yoghurt instead of Sour cream. Add a little lemon juice to the yoghurt for a sour taste.

Tips:
- To make the most flavorful salsa, use fresh, ripe tomatoes. If you don't have fresh tomatoes, you can use canned tomatoes, but be sure to drain them well.
- For a spicier salsa, add more jalapeño peppers or cayenne pepper. If you don't like spicy food, you can omit the peppers altogether.
- To make a chunky salsa, chop the vegetables into larger pieces. For a smoother salsa, puree the vegetables in a blender or food processor.
