- 2 cups warm cooked medium-grain white
rice
2 tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar
1 (3-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 teaspoon whipped horseradish
3 (12-inch) flour tortillas
1 cucumber
1 roasted red bell pepper*

over each tortilla, spreading to edges.
- Spoon about 1/3 cup cold rice mixture
across center of each tortilla, press firmly into strip about
2-inches wide.
- Quarter cucumber lengthwise. Reserve 3
sections for another use. Remove seeds from cucumber quarter,
cut into 3 thin lengthwise strips. Press 1 strip into center
of each rice strip.

next to cucumber to form long red stripe.
- On each tortilla, mound another 1/3 cup
rice mixture over cucumber and roasted pepper. With wet hands,
form rice into firm rolls, completely covering cucumber and roasted
pepper.
- Beginning at bottom edge, roll each tortilla
firmly around rice. Wrap each roll securely in plastic wrap.
Refrigerate 4 hours or until well chilled.
- To serve, trim uneven ends, cut each roll
into eight 3/4-inch-thick slices.

*Cut pepper in half and arrange halves,
skin sides-up on baking sheet. Bake at 400°F (205°C)
until skin turns black, about 25 minutes. Place peppers in cold
water for several minutes; drain. Peel skin from peppers and
discard (Or use canned roasted bell peppers).
