Mexican Spirals

These are colorful spirals with a hint of mexican spice. We've made them twice for our Christmas party, and while some people are left wanting, others love them. We never have any left over. Make sure you include the sour cream and salsa.

I personally like to spruce them up a bit with extra jalapeno and cumin. For Christmas-time, it's easy to find red and green tortillas.

I got the recipe off the net, from http://www.recipezaar.com/15988.

Ingredients

8 ounces cream cheese
1 cup diced, cooked chickens
1/4 lb monterey jack cheese, shredded
1/4 cup chopped fresh coriander or 1 teaspoon dried coriander
2 tablespoons diced fresh jalapeno peppers or canned jalapeno peppers
2 teaspoons ground cumin
10 inches flour tortillas
Vegetable oil
Salsa
Sour cream

Directions

In a large bowl, combine cream cheese, chicken, monterey jack, coriander, jalapeno peppers, and cumin. Spread the mixture evenly over tortillas. Roll up each tortilla tightly around the mixture mixture. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

Just before cooking, cut each tortilla roll into 1/2 inch slices. Arrange on greased baking sheet, brush with oil and bake at 350 degrees for 12 to 15 minutes or until lightly browned.

Serve hot with salsa and sour cream.
