MAKEOVER MEXICAN ROLL-UPS
It's surprising what a quick substitution or two will do. By simply switching from full-fat products to reduced- or low-fat, you can often save lots of fat and calories while keeping flavor and texture. In this recipe, chopped green chilies add the right amount of zip. -Leigh Thomas, Hahira, Georgia

HEATHER'S MEXICAN ROLL-UPS
I found this on The Biggest Loser website. I wanted to put it in my cookbooks and thought I would share. Information about this recipe from the website. "Heather Hansen relies on this easy rollup to help toward her weight loss goal. To keep from getting bored with it, she alternates between making it with Jennie-O Turkey Store Extra Lean Ground Turkey and extra-lean beef. Though she generally eats the turkey naked, she prefers to spike it with 1 1/2 teaspoons of Mrs. Dash Southwest Chipotle Seasoning or other salt-free Mexican seasoning, which she mixes into the meat before cooking. Either way, it's a great option for a quick dinner."

- Cook, breaking into chunks with a wooden spoon for 3 to 4 minutes, or until lightly browned and no longer pink.

THE BEST MEXICAN TORTILLA ROLL UPS
I am requested to make these all the time. They are easy, and people LOVE them. I developed this over the years to suit our tastes. There are recipes close to this one, but I like mine best! The amount of tortillas you need will depend on how thick you spread the mixture. I like them thick. Zaar wont let me list the chilies, olives and pimentos correctly. But I buy the small can of each. They are already chopped small, so they mix in well with the cream cheese.

Tips:
- Use fresh tortillas: Fresh tortillas are more pliable and less likely to crack when rolling. If you can't find fresh tortillas, you can warm store-bought tortillas in a damp paper towel in the microwave for a few seconds to make them more pliable.
- Don't overfill the tortillas: If you overfill the tortillas, they will be difficult to roll and may come apart. Aim for about 1/4 cup of filling per tortilla.
- Roll the tortillas tightly: Roll the tortillas tightly so that the filling doesn't fall out. You can use a toothpick or skewer to secure the tortillas if needed.
- Cook the roll-ups until they are golden brown: Cook the roll-ups in a hot skillet or on a grill until they are golden brown and crispy. This will help to seal in the flavors and prevent the tortillas from becoming soggy.
- Serve the roll-ups with your favorite toppings: Serve the roll-ups with your favorite toppings, such as salsa, guacamole, sour cream, or cheese. You can also add a side of rice and beans.
Conclusion:
Mexican roll-ups are a delicious and versatile dish that can be made with a variety of fillings. They are perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal or for a party appetizer. With a little creativity, you can create your own unique Mexican roll-ups that everyone will love.
