Years ago my former MIL, who was an ornery Polish woman made these, and I have been making them
to rave reviews since. There's no tortillas involved, so you may not care to boher, but...we
called them:

POLISH ROSES Jar/jars of Armor Sliced Dried Beef Bunches of Scallions/Green Onions Cream Cheese
Assembly: Clean and trim skinny scallions to include some of the dark green so that they are about
two inches longer than the width of the beef slices. Spread cream cheese very near to all the edges
of beef slices, roll/wrap one scallion into each cheesed-beef slice. Keep refrigerated until
serving. Notes: Very cold cheese tends to tear the beef slices as you try to spread, so let the
cheese sit out long enough to shed the refer-cold. Leftovers may be kept refrigerated for a day or
two, but I find need to very tightly wrap the entire bunch of them in foil so as to not allow the
scallions to curl as they did the one time I only refer-stored them in a covered dish.

Chop some green chiles (the New Mexico type, but could use jalapenos etc) and onion into the
cream cheese.

Cream cheese, finely-chopped green onion/scallion and some salt.

Cream cheese and finely-chopped smoked salmon (or other smoked fish).

Cream cheese and finely-chopped ham, turkey etc.

You don't need to limit it to cream cheese either. Tuna salad or egg salad will work fine too, as
long as the texture is fine enough to stay put in the tortillas.

Spread the tortillas with bean dip or chile con queso and warm them up when you get there.

Spread flour tortillas with softened cream cheese with chopped chiles and chives or black or green
olives. Slice into rounds and serve with salsa for dipping.

Spread large flour tortillas with cream cheese. Sprinkle with taco seasoning (the packaged kind is
fine or make your own). Sprinkle chopped green onion (green tips only), and chopped black olives
over that.

OR

On top of cream cheese put a layer of chopped black olives and thinly sliced ham.

To make it easier to slice rounds; roll up tortillas real tight and wrap in saran/plastic wrap.
Refrigerate overnite, then slice.

Hope this helps! Roberta

Do you make jam? If so, perhaps make an apricot-jalapeno jam and spread it on tortillas with the
cream cheese. Or even mix good quality storebought apricot preserves with some canned chiles. It
would be unique and pretty easy.

Mix some cranberry jelly into the cream cheese. Spread on tortillas, top with thin sliced smoked
turkey and whatever else (lettuce, tomato, etc) you like. Slice into rounds and serve.

Am I the only person who doesn't like these tortilla-wrap appetizers? To me, they seem to be dry and
just blah. Even dipped in salsa. I'd rather have Doritos with a Velveeta dip.

Why waste good cream cheese?

Stuffed Mushrooms

3/4 - 1 pound mushrooms, stems removed and chopped
4/4 pound butter I small onion diced bread brumbs 8 oz. cream cheese

This isn't a correct recipe, but just guidelines.

Saute the onions in the butter and add the mushroom stems until they give up their moisture.
Remove from heat and add the cream cheese and mix well. Add bread crumbs as needed to make a
good consistency. Salt and pepper to taste. Put into mushroom caps and bake in a 350 oven for
about 20 minutes.

This is simple yet good. I prefer them to any crab-stuffed mushrooms I've ever had.
