OLD GLORY #1 - TORTILLA DESSERT WRAPS (OR PINWHEELS)

Steps:

• Use a sharp knife to trim the curved edges of 2 opposite sides of the flour tortillas to a 6-in width (Easy to do 3 at a time, makes spreading the ingredients a uniform process & makes slicing easy in equal segments). Set prepared tortillas aside & cover w/a slightly moistened kitchen towel or washcloth.
• Mix cream cheese w/powdered sugar till well-combined & smooth. Divide mixture into 3 equal portions in separate bowls.
• Add 3 tbsp strawberry preserves to the 1st bowl & mix well. Add 3 tbsp blueberry preserves to the 2nd bowl & mix well. Cut banana in sml pieces, add to the 3rd bowl & mash into cream cheese mixture till fully incorporated & smooth.
• "Eyeball" the strawberry & blueberry mixtures for desired color. If a darker color is desired, add food coloring 1 drop at a time till you're happy w/the color.
• Assembly: Put 1 pre-cut tortilla on your work surface & spread 1/3 of the strawberry mixture over the tortilla surface. Place a 2nd tortilla 1-in to the right (keeping the end cuts lined up) & spread 1/3 of the banana mixture over the tortilla surface. Place a 3rd tortilla 1-in further to the right (lined up again) & spread 1/3 of the blueberry mixture over the tortilla surface.
• Begin w/the tortilla flat on the work surface & roll them together into a circular log. The log will be fairly substantial in size & should be compact, but not so tight that your filling wants to "escape". Wrap ea log snugly in foil or plastic wrap, so they do not come apart & their shape is retained. Repeat assembly steps w/rest of tortillas & ingredients. Refrigerate tortilla logs at least 2 hrs or put in your freezer for at least 1 hours.
• Remove from refrigerator or freezer & cut logs immediately w/a very sharp knife into 3-in servings (6), 2-in servings (9) or 1-in pieces (18). Serve immediately or refrigerate covered in plastic wrap till ready to serve.
• Serving Suggestion: Put on serving platter w/dish of cool whip & garnish w/banana slices + halved fresh strawberries & fresh blueberries. I bet kids would like a dish of red & blue M&M's on the side too!

EASY CHEESY CHICKEN TORTILLA PINWHEELS

Steps:

• 1. Blend first four ingredients and half the pimientos together. Use a food processor to really make it easy, but don't over-process. Just pulse as you add each ingredient. Add the rest of the pimientos and the green onion and pulse a couple of times, but you want them to show-for some color-so don't overdo it. Season with garlic salt and/or salt and pepper. *The pimientos give the mixture a distinctive, slightly spicy flavor, so you might want to use less or substitute something else, like chopped tomatoes or red bell pepper, for color.
• 2. Lay out a piece of Saran Wrap on a flat surface and put one tortilla in the middle. Put a scoop of the chicken mixture in the middle of the tortilla and spread it out pretty thinly, staying at least ½-inch away from the edge and 1-inch away from the edge farthest from you. Sprinkle lightly with shredded cheese. Roll the tortilla away from you, beginning by tucking the first edge in pretty small but then just roll firmly, not squeezing or getting it too tight. Avoid oozing. (Assume that your first tortilla will be for you and your helper to eat! ;-) By the second try, you'll have the hang of it!) Roll the tortilla into the piece of Saran Wrap and twist the ends of the wrap to keep it from drying out. When you've used all the filling, you and your helper get to lick the bowl! Then put your tortilla rolls in the refrigerator for AT LEAST two hours to get firm. (You can make these a day or two before and slice them right before the party.)
• 3. When you're ready to serve, slice the tortilla rolls into bite-sized pinwheels, about 1" wide. Use a really sharp knife so you don't flatten the pinwheels. A serrated knife, like a bread knife, works best. The ends of the rolls will be ugly, so discard those. (Yeah, right! ;-), you know where to throw them, right?) arrange the pinwheels on a plate with a little fresh parsley or lettuce leaves before serving. Makes about 50 1" pinwheels. This recipe is really adaptable. Use ingredients you like or that you have on hand. Leave out the chicken and just use the cream cheese-really good! Or use ham instead of the chicken, or lay thin-sliced luncheon meat on top of the cream cheese. It's hard to mess them up.
