A Snack For Cream Cheese And Veggie Fans

Total Time: 5 mins Preparation Time: 5 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 1
• 1 tortilla, shell taco size works best
• 1 tablespoon cream cheese
• 4 -6 slices cucumbers (sliced thin)
• 3 -5 slices red peppers (sliced thin)
• salt and pepper

Recipe

• 1 heat the shell in the microwave for 8-10 seconds just to soften it a bit (i keep my shells in the refrigerator and pull one or two out at a time). also, taco size does work best - i've used the bigger shells, but they are harder to hold and the veggies tend to fall out.
• 2 spread cream cheese onto the tortilla shell (use more of less depending on your taste). i use neufchatel cheese instead because it has less fat and i think it taste better and spreads better than regular cream cheese. i don't like the texture of the spreadable cream cheese in the tub.
• 3 place cucumber slices and red pepper slices on top of the cream cheese. the number of slices depends on what you like and how big the veggies are. also, i tend to always use red peppers for this -- green just doesn't have the right flavor. yellow is ok, but red just taste better with the ingredients.
• 4 lightly salt and pepper.
• 5 roll up. if your tortilla doesn't want to stay rolled up, spread a little cream cheese on the outer edge and press.
• 6 i wrap these up individually and take them for lunch. a yummy and healthy lunch.
• 7 for a change of pace, add some lettuce or other veggie favorites.
