Advertizing:

Italian standbys--like fresh basil and sun-dried tomatoes--roll up here with ham, cheese and red-leaf lettuce. You simply refrigerate and slice when ready to serve.

INGREDIENTS (for 2 servings):

PREPARATION:

  • Spread each tortilla lightly with cream cheese. Arrange two ham slices across the middle of each tortilla. Add a layer of fresh basil, then a layer of tomatoes. Do not place ingredients too close to tortilla edges. Add lettuce; use enough leaf lettuce to cover across the center of each tortilla, with some of the frilly leaf edge hanging over.
  • Starting at one end, tightly roll up each tortilla. Stick toothpicks in four evenly spaced spots of tortilla roll. Place tortilla rolls in a dish, cover, and refrigerate for 2 hours to chill.
  • Slice each roll into four evenly sized sandwiches, and serve as soon as possible.
