matt, i have one that i usually take to affairs like this, and it always
gets raves...
it's so simple it's ridiculous...mix a can of refried beans, a package of
cream cheese, a couple cloves of garlic (minced), a small can of chopped
black olives and chiles of choice...the original called for a small can of
chopped green chiles, but i sometimes make half mild and half hotter...
mix all until it is spreadable and spread it fairly thin on flour
tortillas...roll 'em up and put them in the fridge for at least a couple
hours...
if i'm heading to the party from work, i slice them into 1" slices at home,
re-wrap them in plastic wrap and when i get to the party, just separate
them and put them on a plate...fancy toothpicks make a nice touch...
have also made buffalo balls (from the archives) which were a hit...maybe
someone else has the recipe...
