What to Do
- Process first 5 ingredients in a food processor until smooth, stopping to scrape down sides as needed. Pour soup mixture into a medium saucepan; cook over medium-low heat 5 minutes or until thoroughly heated, stirring occasionally. Remove sauce from heat, and keep warm.
- Stir together cream cheese and next 3 ingredients. Spoon cream cheese mixture evenly down the center of each tortilla. Fold sides in, and roll up burrito-style.
