PLAYOFF PINWHEELS
Ingredients:
1 pound of thinly sliced deli roast beef
1 container (8 oz.) soft cream cheese with chives and onion
4 medium flour tortillas
1 cup cucumber, finely chopped and seeded
2 cans (4-1/4 oz. each) ripe olives, chopped and pitted (you could use green olives too)
Directions:
Spread cream cheese evenly on one side of each tortilla. Top each with equal amounts of cucumber and olives. Layer deli roast beef over olives, leaving 1/2-inch border around edges. Roll up tightly.
To serve, cut each roll crosswise in half.
Tip: For a spicy twist, add green chilies instead of the cucumber slices, and dip in salsa.
