Chili-Cheese Roll-Ups

Submitted by TasteTester

"This is a snack I've made for my son when he wants something a little more filling than crackers or a cookie. It could also be made as a dinner entree served alongside a salad or with some refried beans. It uses roasted garlic which I make earlier in the day (cut a 1/2-inch off the top of a head of garlic, take off loose skins, put it on a piece of heavy duty foil, sprinkle a generous amount of olive oil on top, wrap foil tightly around the head of garlic and cook at 325°F for an hour. Remove, cool, and squeeze out creamy garlic paste from each clove)."

Well, I doubled the recipe for a dinner for us tonight, and we were not disappointed. No changes made here. Loved the chili powder, and cumin combo.. These were absolutely devoured by us. Tagged and made for Auz/nz recipe swap #30.
