Whenever I serve these make-ahead appetizers, they disappear fast. When a friend at the office shared them with me, I knew in one bite I'd be bringing her recipe home for the holidays.

These are great, and easy and inexpensive to make. They are good without the salsa, but better with it.

These are VERY good and have lots of flavor. Rolling them is a pain and ocourse, when you slice them there is waste on either end. All in all, worth the effort for a party.
