Amount Ingredient
1/2 lb Cooked Shrimp - small salad shrimp work well.
1 lb Cream Cheese - room temperature
1 cup Pico De Gallo (salsa described below)
Juice of 2 limes
10 x burrito-sized (large) Flour tortillas
Instructions:
Instructions: Using the paddle attachment on a mixer or a spoon and a bowl, mix together the cream cheese and lime juice until incorporated and the cream cheese is easy to work with. Then season lightly with salt and pepper.

Mix in the cooked shrimp and pico de gallo. Pico de gallo is simply diced ripe tomatoes, sweet red onions, fresh jalapeno peppers, chopped cilantro and a little bit of lime juice to make a "chutney" type salsa. Spread the mixture evenly on the flour tortillas and roll them up tightly. Wrap the roll-ups and chill overnight. When its party time, slice into half inch thick slices and arrange fanned out on a platter lined with shredded cabbage or leaf lettuce.

For a colorful twist, use flavored tortillas. Green spinach tortillas and roasted red bell pepper tortillas make a great Christmas color combination. This recipe is wide open for improvisation.
