It's a Wrap!

Even though we've been having beautiful weather, we don't always need to heat up the kitchen, right?

How about some ideas for wrap sandwiches that can make a fun no-bake, no-grill meal!

The nice thing about wraps is you can set out the ingredients buffet style and let everyone make their own. So the picky eaters can't complain; they can put only what they want on their particular wrap!

You essentially make your spread using cream cheese as a base, spread on a tortilla, layer with your greens, meats and cheeses, top with vegies, roll and serve!

But how about some fun ideas to try? You can pick one and run with it, or have a few options available for everyone!

The other cool option is you can make the wraps and then cut them in snack size slices. Homemade is better than buying a platter of pre-made that you don't know how long has been sitting in the refrigerator case at Sams Club.

Hopefully my formatting will work out here, but if it's not readable, email me!

Roll up and serve

Southwestern Roast Beef Wrap
8oz cream cheese mixed with 1 small seeded jalapeno, chopped, 1 pressed garlic clove an 1/4 t cumin

You can interchange ingredients and make your own combination as well! Whatever items you and your family like!

Enjoy!
