"Makes a great snack or lunch, thinly sliced turkey breast may be used in place of the smoked chicken slices --- the rolls must be wrapped and refrigerated for at least 1 hour or more before slicing or you may make them up to a day ahead ---adjust the Tabasco sauce to suit heat level or use cayenne pepper, all other amounts may be adjusted to taste, if desired serve the roll-ups with salsa or picante sauce for dipping."

I mixed up and used as a sandwich spread on pita pockets. I used half black and half green olives. We thought they were really good. I would stick with the 1/4 tsp. chili powder next time, and use just a dash of Tabasco. All in all we really enjoyed this! Thanks Kitten
