Tortilla Roll is a very simple starter that you can make for any kind of party, especially for high-tea parties. My aunty from Texas, Rina Misra had suggested this dish. Actually Abhishek had been to her place for Thanksgiving last year and she had made couple of tasty bite sized items and this is one of them. So for the recent party at our place, Abhishek suggested we make this. In fact he was the one who made it from scratch and it turned out to be such a hit...So I could not resist posting it even though I don't have even a single picture of it now with me..

- Tortilla - big burrito size (preferably 'Mission' brand)
