Hey, this one's a keeper!- would make it again.  "Very easy.  Just throw everything in the food processor and spread it on the tortillas.  It was nice to be able to make them ahead and then cut them right before serving."

***Hey, this one's a keeper!- would make it again.  "I have made this twice in the past week!  Both times, I added chipotle chili powder for a kick.  For a shower, I added smoked turkey breast and then rolled and sliced.  Delicious!"
