BLACK BEAN TORTILLA WRAPS

Ingredients:

12 large burrito size tortillas
1 - 8 oz. package cream cheese, softened
1 cup sour cream
1 cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
1 - 15 oz. can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 package dry taco seasoning mix
1/3 cup Arizona Gunslinger Smokin' Hot Chipotle Salsa

Combine all ingredients except tortillas and mix well.  Spread a thin layer of cheese mixture on each tortilla and roll each tortilla up and place seam side down on a large plate.  Chill for at least an hour before slicing into 1-inch pieces.  Serve with extra Arizona Gunslinger Smokin' Hot Chipotle Salsa.  This starter is very tasty and so easy.  The end result is actually quite elegant and makes for a nice presentation.  You can add different types of beans for a different flavor and appearance.  Also feel free to add some sliced black or green olives or jalapeno peppers for some zip.  Make the roll-ups a day in advance and keep them refrigerated until just before you need them.  Then simply slice the rolled tortillas into the 1 inch thick pieces and arrange them on a serving platter with a dish of salsa in the middle for dipping.

The Skinny: Use light cream cheese and sour cream. You can also get by with light or low-fat cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses.
