Donna's Tortilla Roll-Ups
My good friend, Donna Gee, takes these roll-ups everywhere. If she doesn't bring them to a party, people have been to ask, "Hey, where are those 'tortilla thangs' you always bring?'
My good friend in Houston, Texas is Donna Gee.  I always wanted to be like her - tall, thin, blonde, math whiz, and a good cook.  Back when I was young and single, I just never cooked.  Donna, however, always made these delicious and EASY tortilla roll-ups for an appetizer and brought them to many, many parties we attended.  One year at Christmas, I went to Mississippi to my parents' for the holidays.  Channeling my inner-Donna, I decided to make an appetizer to surprise everyone with my cooking skills.  Surely Donna's Tortilla Roll-ups were the best idea!
Now, I didn't have her recipe and she was out of town for the holidays.  These were the days before cell phones and computers; you couldn't easily reach someone for a recipe. I decided to wing it.
I can tell you that substituting GREEN olives does not work, nor does using bottled Ranch dressing work; don't try either one!

1 package flour tortillas
3 (8-ounces) packages cream cheese, softened
1 red bell pepper, chopped fine
1 can pitted black olives (NOT GREEN), drained
4 green onions, chopped fine
1 package Ranch Salad Dressing Mix
  1. You can chop the veggies by hand or dump all the veggies in a food processor and chop.
  2. Add the cream cheese and Ranch Dressing Mix to the chopped veggies and stir.
  3. Spread the mixture on the tortillas.  
  4. Roll the tortillas in a rectangular pattern.  (Donna's a former math teacher, can you tell?)
  5. When rolling, the goo should only be in teh middle, not oozing out the edges.  
  6. Chill overnight, then cut into 3/4 -inch pinwheel circles.
