We’re going to a picnic today. Our friend Jocelyn is having a picnic at a park near her apartment with a bunch of fellow law students. We’re not sure if dogs are allowed but we’re bringing Winter anyway. We figure we’ll have plenty of legal advisors if someone has a problem with her lol.

Having been loosely dieting for about eight months now I haven’t a clue what to bring. So Cody came up with the idea to bring green chile tortilla pinwheels. I’ve had these before at parties thrown by his aunts and mom. They’re pretty tasty and we can even make a low-fat version too!

Ingredients
6 flour tortillas (we’re going to use my absolute favorite green chile tortillas!) at room temperature
2 small cans roasted seeded chopped green chiles
1 large package cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons milk, cream, half and half, or sour cream
1/4 teaspoon garlic salt or 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder or1 whole garlic clove, pressed
2 teaspoons chopped cilantro (preferably fresh) (optional)

Combine canned chile, cream cheese, milk, garlic, and cilantro. Mix very well. Spread on tortillas. Roll up tortillas from side-to-side like a jellyroll. Cut roll into 1/2 inch pieces. et voila! This recipe is enough to be generous with the filling.

Yields about 45 - 60 appetizers depending on the size tortillas you’re using.

**diet variations - use low-fat cream cheese, skim milk or fat-free sour cream, whole flour tortillas.
