IMITATION CRABMEAT TORTILLA ROLLUPS

Steps:

• Mix softened cream cheese and cocktail sauce together, until well blended.
• Stir in crabmeat, swiss cheese and green onion, or green pepper and mix well.
• Spread evenly onto the 4 flour tortilla shells and roll each one up tightly.
• Wrap in plastic wrap and refridgerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
• After they are thoroughly chilled, slice into 1/2 inch circles, and serve with the 1/2 cup, optional cocktail sauce.
• Note: I microwave my tortilla shells (one at a time) for about 15 seconds, before I spread the mix on them.That makes the shells much easier to roll.
• I also make my own 'cocktail sauce' by simply mixing prepared horseradish and ketchup (to taste) together.

CRAB ROLL-UPS

Steps:

• Place softened cream cheese in a mixing bowl; stir with a fork. Add cocktail sauce, salt, and pepper; mix with a fork until well blended.
• Stir in Montery Jack cheese, crabmeat, and green onion.
• Spread 1/4 of the mixture (about 1/2 cup) onto each tortilla, making an even layer that covers the tortilla completely.
• Roll up each tortilla tightly. Wrap each tortilla roll in plastic wrap and refrigerator for several hours or overnight.
• At serving time, cut each tortilla roll into 10-12 slices.
• I find using a sawing motion with a serrated knife makes the nicest, cleanest cuts.
• You can also use the filling as a spread on crackers instead of making tortilla roll-ups, if you'd like.
