Recipe Ingredients:
12 (10-inch) flour tortillas
2 cups (1 pound) Wisconsin Jalapeño Cold Pack cheese
4 1/2 cups iceberg lettuce, shredded
3/4 cup ripe black olives, pitted, sliced

- Other Cold Pack cheese flavors, such as bacon or horseradish, may be substituted.
- Shredded barbecued chicken, turkey, beef or pork may be substituted for the scrambled eggs.
