Philly Firecrackers
from Southern Living, July 2001

These would be great to take on a 4th of July picnic or outing. You could tie off the ends of the parchment paper wraps with red, white and blue ribbons.

1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 green onion, chopped
2 tablespoons prepared horseradish
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
8 (12-inch) flour tortillas
1 pound roast beef, cut into 24 thin slices
2 (6-ounce) packages deli-style sharp Cheddar cheese slices (optional) [or provolone]
2 cups shredded iceberg lettuce
parchment paper, for wrapping

Stir together first 6 ingredients until blended. Spread evenly on one side of each tortilla; top with 3 beef slices and, if desired, 2 cheese slices. Sprinkle evenly with shredded lettuce.

Roll up tortillas tightly; wrap in parchment paper or plastic wrap. Chill 8 hours.
