Here’s what you need to make Garden Snack Sandwiches
- 1/2 cucumber
- 1/2 fresh jalapeno
- 12 Roma tomato
- 1/3 brick of cream cheese (approx 3oz)

Here’s how to make them:
1. Cut up the cucumber into really small dices.

8. Put one of the tortilla wraps on a plate and spread half of it with the cucumber/cream cheese mixture. Then fold the other side over and give it a few pats with your hand to make sure it’s nice and flat.

9. Take another tortilla and sprinkle the jalapeno/mozzarella mixture on half of it. Fold it over like you did with the first one.
Tasty!
10. Take the last tortilla and sprinkle one half with half of the cheddar cheese. Place the tomato slices on top of the cheese, spreading them out over the cheese-covered half of the tortilla. Sprinkle the rest of the cheddar cheese on top and fold it over.

11. Cook them flat in a pan on medium heat for about 5 minutes, then flip them and cook the other side for about three minutes. Watch the tortillas, though – they burn quickly if you overcook them! You can probably fit two wraps in one pan at the same time.
