Sandwich Wraps with Chipotle Pepper spread

My mother taught me how to make these a long time ago, and we still make them for almost every picnic. Super easy and OOooooo Soooooo Flavorful!

flour tortillas
ham or turkey lunch meat, shaved
Swiss cheese, sliced thinly
bib lettuce
1 block cream cheese (fat free works just fine), softened
1 can chipotle peppers in adobo sauce

After bringing your cream cheese to room temperature place it in the food processor and pulse a few times to loosen the block. Next add 1 to 2 peppers from the can, and a tbsp or so of the sauce and pulse a few times. Taste the mixture when it appears the peppers are completely incorporated into the cream cheese. If you want it hotter, add more sauce and/or peppers. This is very much a "to taste" recipe.

On a tortilla spread a thin even coat of the pepper spread, followed by lettuce, lunch meat and cheese. Roll in to a wrap and set aside. Repeat as needed. Chill.

I think these taste even better the second day, they keep well in the refrigerator for several days and are a great after school snack.

As with most of my recipes, play with the ingredients. There are many options here, try your favorite meats and cheeses, I bet you love it!
