Low-Fat Mexican Roll Ups Recipe

Ingredients:

2- 8oz packages of 1/3 less Fat or Fat Free Cream Cheese
1 can of Rotel (diced tomatoes and chilies)
8 large tortillas
1 package of Mexican finely shredded Cheese
1 tablespoon of Taco seasoning
Plastic Wrap
Salsa

Leave Cream Cheese on the counter to soften, about an hour. In the meantime drain the can of Rotel and finely chop the tomatoes and chilies, I used a food processor. Mix together in a mixer cream cheese, rotel, taco seasoning, ½ cup of shredded cheese, beat until mixed well.

Lay out your large tortillas and scoop about ¾ cups of the mixture onto your first tortilla and spread out thinly across the entire tortilla all the way to the edges. Sprinkle some shredded cheese over the spread and roll up tortilla tightly then wrap tightly in plastic wrap. Repeat until mixture is all gone. Refrigerate roll ups for at least 1 hour to set. When you are ready to serve them slice them in inch sections and place on a tray. Have a bowl of salsa available next to them and encourage your guests to add a dollop of salsa onto their roll up.

Enjoy!
