I still had some tortilla, and I wanted to use them before they get bad - which probably will take a while, but I was in the mood to something with them. A simple mexican dish was too easy and so I tryed to make an appetizer or when done bigger even a Lunch or sandwich recipe.

- 1 (8 ounce) tub vegan herb cream "cheese"
- 1 can (2.25 ounce) sliced black olives, drained
- 1-2 cucumbers, peeled and chopped
- 1 tomato, diced
- salt and pepper, to taste
Directions
1. Spread vegan cream cheese liberally (though not too thick) on the tortilla. 2. Sprinkle black olives, cucumbers and tomatoes on one side of the tortilla.3. Sprinkle salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste. Starting with side that has the goodies, roll it up like a log, as tightly as possible.4. Slice into 1" pieces.Enjoy!Alternative 1: use Vegenaise instead of cream cheese, and sliced veggie meats, lettuce and tomato, Alternative 2: Use hummus instead of cream cheese. Add black olives, tomatoes, etc, Alternative 3: Use peanut butter and jelly. I make these sometimes for my kids' school lunch.Serves: 4, Preparation time: 10 minutes'
