Easiest Homemade Salsa

1 can Rotel tomatoes with green chiles
1 can diced tomatoes
1 can (4 oz) diced green chiles
6 green onions, chopped
1 bunch of cilantro leaves
1 Tbsp. garlic, minced
1 1/2 tsp. lemon juice
1/2 tsp salt

Place all ingredients into a food processor, or blender, and process until desired consistency is reached. Refrigerate a few hours before serving to blend flavors.

Tortilla Pinwheels

8 oz. cream cheese, softened
8 oz. sour cream
1 c. grated cheese
1 can (4 oz) diced green chiles
1/2 C. chopped olives
1/2 c. chopped green onions
1/2 tsp. seasoned salt
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
8-10 flour tortillas

Mix first 8 ingredients until well combined. Spread over tortillas and roll up. Place all rolls in refrigerator overnight for best flavor. When ready to serve cut into about one inch pieces. (I usually cut the ends of and save them for a snack, they don't look as nice as the center pieces). Serve with salsa.
