Yield: 36 appetizers

6 whole wheat or spinach flour tortillas (10-inch rounds)
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons light garlic-and-herb or vegetable-flavored cream cheese
12 ounces thinly sliced roasted turkey breast
6 ounces thinly sliced reduced-fat Swiss or provolone cheese
12 Boston lettuce leaves or 36 young, tender fresh spinach leaves
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons finely chopped black olives
14-ounce can artichoke hearts, well drained and chopped
18 thin rings red bell pepper

1. Arrange the tortillas on a flat surface, and spread each with 3 tablespoons of the cream cheese, extending the cheese to the outer edges.

2. Lay 2 ounces of sliced turkey over the bottom half only of each tortilla, leaving a 1-inch margin on each outer edge. Place 1 ounce of the cheese over the turkey. Arrange 2 lettuce or 6 spinach leaves over the cheese, and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of olives. Top the olive layer with a quarter-cup of the artichoke hearts and 3 red bell pepper rings.

3. Starting at the bottom, roll each tortilla up tightly. Cut a 1 1/4-inch piece off each end and discard. Slice the remainder of each tortilla into six 1 1/4-inch pieces. Arrange the rolls on a platter and serve immediately. Or leave the rolls intact, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for up to 8 hours before slicing and serving.
