Ingredients

1/2: of a package (8 oz) fat-free cream cheese, softened

4: ounces soft goat cheese (chèvre)

1: tablespoon fat-free milk

2: cloves garlic, minced

1/4: teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1/2: cup purchased roasted red sweet peppers, drained and finely chopped

1/4: cup snipped fresh basil

8: 8-inch whole wheat or plain flour tortillas

Directions

1 For filling: In a medium bowl, beat cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Add goat cheese, milk, garlic, and black pepper; beat until smooth. Stir in red peppers and basil.
2 To assemble roll-ups, divide filling among tortillas and spread to within 1/2 inch of edges. Arrange spinach leaves over filling to cover. Carefully roll up tortillas tightly. Cover and chill roll-ups for 2 to 24 hours.
