Spinach and Jalapeno Roll-Ups

• 1 9-ounce package, Green Giant® Frozen Spinach
• 1 8-ounce package, cream cheese -- softened
• 2 jalapeno chiles, minced
• 4 8-inch flour tortillas
• Roasted red bell pepper {from 7.25-oz.jar},cut into 4 {8-inch} strips

Instructions:
1. Cook spinach as directed on package. Place in colander or strainer; rinsed with cold water to cool. Squeeze spinach to remove as much moisture as possible.
2. In food processor bowl with metal blade, combine cream cheese and chiles; process until smooth. Add spinach; process until just blended.
3. Place 1 tortilla on work surface. Spread 1/4 of spinach mixture over tortilla, leaving 1/2-inch border on one side. Place strips of roasted pepper, piecing together if necessary, across middle of tortilla.
4. Roll tortilla toward border, making sure beginning is tightly rolled, but easing pressure as rolling continues to avoid forcing out filling. Wrap in plastic wrap; repeat with remaining tortillas, spinach mixture, and roasted peppers. Refrigerate at least 1 hour before serving.
5. To serve, remove plastic wrap from tortilla rolls. Cut each roll diagonally into 8 slices, trimming ends.

Yield: "32 Appetizers"

KITCHEN TIP: Refrigerate these roll-ups overnight to be certain they are firm enough for easy slicing.
