Here is another easy and delicious appetizer.  I can’t remember where I got this recipe for Chile and Cheese Spirals, but it’s perfect for Christmas.  You can use any type of tortilla to make them, but at Christmas I like to make them with green tortillas.  I buy the Mission garden spinach herb kind.

These are full of flavor and look festive.  The other good thing is that have to be made at least 1 hour ahead of time.  I have made them the day before a party.  Also, I recently stumbled across a similar recipe that had a great idea of how to serve these.  I put a picture of it below and here’s the link with detailed instruction on how they did it.  Way too cute for Christmas!
There won’t be a post on Christmas so I hope you all have a fabulous Christmas and delicious food.  I’ll be counting calories after the New Year.  I have enjoyed the holiday season a tad too much.  I will be back on Saturday with another appetizer.  This one is going to involve fresh cranberries.  Merry Christmas to you all!!!
