I made half of the filling recipe and it made a little over 2 cups. At 1/2 cup per tortilla, that made 4 tortilla rolls. The predominant flavors, for us, was the cream cheese and olives. These sliced up nicely and were good dipped in salsa. -
These were very good even if you didn't dip them in the salsa. The only thing I did differently was that instead of putting in the black olives I substituted some finely chopped lunch meat ham. I refrigerated them overnight near the top of the refrigerator for best chilling. Flavors blended wonderfully. Made for PAC Spring 2012.
