These little morsels are fun to make and yummy to eat. They can be stored in the refrigerator up to a week. I have even popped them in the oven to accompany my favorite bowl of Campbell's tomato soup for lunch.

Tortilla Spirals

6 ounces cream cheese, at room temp
4 ounces mild goat cheese
1 clove garlic, minced
1 4oz can green chiles
4 sun dried tomatoes, packed in oil, drained with oil reserved, thinly sliced
1/3 cup pitted black olives, minced
4 ounces shredded Monterey Jack cheese
3 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons chili powder
Dash of cayenne pepper
Sprinkle of grated salt
12 large flour tortillas

Whip the cream cheese and goat cheese together in a large bowl until smooth. Beat in all the remaining ingredients, except the tortillas and the oil from the sun dried tomatoes.

Spread 1 tortilla with a large dollop (about 2 tablespoons) of the cheese mixture. Top with a second tortilla and spread in the same fashion with the cheese mixture. Roll up the 2 tortillas tightly like a jelly roll and wrap in plastic wrap. Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and cheese mixture. Regrigerate at least 2 hours.

Cut each tortilla roll into 1/2 inch slices and place on your favorite platter.
