Appetizer Tortilla Pinwheels

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 20 min. + chilling

• 1 can (4 ounces) chopped green chiles, well drained

• Salsa, optional

Directions

• 1. Beat cream cheese, cheese and sour cream until blended. Stir in olives, green chiles, green onions and seasonings.

• 3. Unwrap. Cut into 1/2- to 3/4-in. slices, using a serrated knife. If desired, serve with salsa.

That is a tasty appetizer.  Someone once brought them to a work celebration and everyone liked them. Another favorite at work was beer dip with pretzels.
