Santa Fe Vegetable Wrap

Submitted by SusieQusie

"This recipe, from The Whole Foods Market Cookbook, is an explosion of traditional Southwest flavors and textures. If you want to add a little heat, try mixing a teaspoon of chipotle chili in adobo sauce to the cream cheese before spreading it on the tortilla. Serve these with a bit of tomato salsa and sour cream or plain yogurt on the side for dipping."

Thank you for introducing me to Jicama - what a nice flavor. Now I have one more favorite to purchase at a little Mexican market nearby. We all enjoyed this recipe very much. Instead of black beans, I used reciped #52500 Very Low-Fat Black Bean and Corn Salad. The cream cheese with chipolte chile in adobo is a new favorite sandwich spread in my house.

Delicious! A great blend of flavors and textures. I used the chipotle chile and it gave a nice extra little kick with the pepperjack. I added chopped cilantro since I had some, and it was a great addition. Thanks for sharing!

Can't go wrong with these flavors...YUM! I made this omitting the chipotle and jicama and added salsa, cilantro and sliced black olives. Made for 1-2-3 hit wonders.

This is an excellent combination of flavors. The only thing I did different was to leave off the jicama (didn't have any) Thanks so much for sharing. This will be made often this summer.
