Can't decide what to bring to a tree-trimming party? Bring this edible tree. Made from mini sandwiches and trimmed with colorful vegetables. It can serve as a healthy alternative to the usual array of holiday sweets.
Ingredients
1 16-ounce can whole-berry cranberry sauce
4 large (9 or 10 inch) spinach-flour tortillas
Mayonnaise
3/4 pound thinly sliced Monterey Jack or American cheese
3/4 pound thinly sliced smoked turkey
1/2 head green-leaf lettuce
Toothpics
Red and yellow bell peppers
Cocktail onions, for garnish
Instructions
*Spoon the cranberry sauce into a food processor and pulse it briefly.
*Then lay teh tortillas on a flat working surface and lightly spread them with mayonnaise. Now your kids can top each tortilla with a layer of cheese and turkey. (Tip: When stacking ingredients, leave an inch margin along the top of the tortilla. Roll the bread toward that edge to keep the filling from falling out.)
*Spread cranberry sauce on the turkey layers adn cover them with lettuce. Snugly roll up the sandwiches, ending with the loose edges underneath.
*With a serrated knife, cut each roll-up into 1 1/4 inch wide pinwheels and insert a toothpick to hold each one together.
*On a serving platter, arrange the pinwheels in rows to create a Christmas tree. Garnish with pepper-star ornaments (cut out with a small cookie cutter) and cocktail-onion lights.
