Southwest Tortilla Rolls - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    8 ounces cream cheese, at room
    1/4 cup roasted and seeded poblano pepper (or canned green chilis)
    1/2 teaspoon lemon zest, grated
    1/4 cup cilantro
    1 avocado
    2 teaspoons lime juice
    1/8 teaspoon salt
    5 flour tortillas
    3 ounces smoked salmon, thinly Sliced
    4 scallions, thinly sliced
    4 ounces smoked turkey breast
    radish (to garnish)
Preparation
    For cheese spread, process cream cheese, peppers, lemon zest and cilantro in food processor until smooth.
    Peel and pit avocado. Place in a small bowl and mash coarsely with a fork.
    Stir in lime juice and salt.
    Tortilla prep:.
    Working with 1 tortilla at a time, place on stove fire (gas) for a couple mins on low each side to get that grilled taste. Let it puff up and quickly turn to the other side. These are served cold so a fast warm on the tortilla is nice. Spread about 3 tablespoons cheese spread on tortilla.
    Partially cover lower third of tortilla with 1/3 of salmon.
    Using 1/5 of avocado mixture, make a band across center of tortilla. Sprinkle with scallions. Roll up.
    Repeat with 2 more tortillas and remaining salmon. Repeat with remaining tortillas and turkey, placing turkey over two-thirds of each tortilla. Wrap each roll in plastic wrap.
    Refrigerate 2 hours to create firm cheese spread or up to 8 hours. To serve, trim 1/2 inch from each end; discard. Cut each roll into 8 slices.
