SUN-DRIED TOMATO AND BASIL PINWHEELS

Steps:

• I actually doubled the recipe when I made it because these guys store really well and they are great snack food for a lazy weekend. The prep is super-easy. Just chop up or lightly pulse all the ingredients in a food processor, stir the mixture into your cream cheese and then spread it on your tortilla. You want a pretty thin layer of the cheese mixture because when you roll it up you want the same thickness of cheese and tortilla layers. I cut my pinwheels pretty thick and I ended up with 16 pinwheels per tortilla. These are one of my favorite quick and easy appetizers. Once you get the technique down you can mix all kinds of other stuff in the cream cheese.
