In Berlin, Pennsylvania, Karen Thomas curbs hunger in a hurry. "These zest roll-ups are great as picnic nibbles, dinner appetizers and football party munchies," she notes. "When my husband's co-workers at the state patrol come over for meals, they admit 'low-fat' can be delicious."

Editor's Note

Wear disposable gloves when cutting hot peppers; the oils can burn skin. Avoid touching your face.

This are delicious! I use Neufchatel (33% less fat 'cream cheese') or FF cream cheese and also 96% FF tortilla shells. I used 2 med. jalapenos with the seeds and they were spicy but not unbearably hot. The meeting people I made it for loved it.
