It is served often in the meza/appetizer part of the meal. The rolls can be made in advance and baked right before serving. The crunchy outside with the flavorful filling are eye opening and very filling.
great idea :)

It sounds great cannot wait to try it, I do it with flour tortilla and use only olive oil, it is a hit with my friends
