Jolene#20fan's Note:

We had these at Montana's restaurant one day and fell in love with them! But as usual since things are so pricey at restaurant's I just have to find the recipe to make them myself.

Directions:

1. Mix the cream cheese, onions and peppers together, spread over tortilla.
2. Sprinkle cheddar over top.
3. Add optional ingredients (chicken) over top.

These were great! To reduce some of the calories, I used light cream cheese, low fat cheddar and served them with fat free sour cream. You would never know they were a light version! Very tasty. Can't wait to make them for friends.

These were LOVELY PRETTY CHEESY appetizers! I used South Beach multigrain wraps, 2percent cheddar, neufchatel, and canned mild green chilies. Mine did take about 12 minutes to heat through. They were better after I let one roll sit overnight in the fridge and then baked them cut...they got a little crispier. Made for Pick-A-Chef Fall 2007.
