New Mexico Sushi

New Mexico Sushi or Tortilla Roll ups – which ever you want to call them, there a scrumptious. These appetizers are easy to make and are busting with flavor. I had some left over roasted jalapeños from a barbecue this weekend and was inspired to use them and not throw them into the trash. Roasted jalapeños have so much flavor, I always try to use them in a recipe when I can. I encourage you to try this recipe for the upcoming 4th of July Holiday weekend. I am telling you they are easy, easy to make and oh, so worth it! Happy Fourth of July Everyone.

Bon Appetit,
