    I ran to Publix for all of the groceries we would need for this recipe and found Sargento® Blends™ 4 Cheese Southwest Slices.  Publix always has amazing quality products to try and they have the best fresh ingredients.

    Making these Southwest Zucchini rolls is not hard at all. The trick is getting your zucchini sliced thin, long ways. I used a mandolin food slicer, which makes this just take only seconds. Once the zucchini is sliced, smear on a little sour cream, lay on a slice of Sargento Blends, and top with a couple pieces of chopped bell pepper and a sprig of cilantro.

    If you have been struggling with what to make for your low carb friends or those that are watching what they eat these little rolls are the answer. All those veggies and that amazing cheese are a great option!

    Roll them up and secure them with a toothpick. We enjoy these cold, but you can kick it up a notch by brushing them with olive oil and placing them on a hot grill for just a minute on each side. This melts the cheese and adds that grilled char to the sides that makes them irresistible. Who can turn down melty cheese?

    The Sargento Blends 4 Cheese Southwest Slices adds a ton of flavor to these little fresh summer appetizers. Serve with some extra cilantro, a slice of lime, and a bowl of creamy avocado dip (recipe below). You can also make these in advance. Cut your veggies and roll these up ahead of time. Just store them in the fridge until you are ready to serve. You can keep them about 10 - 12 hours assembled like this before serving.

With the Sargento Blends 4 Cheese Southwest Slices and veggies, they are a perfect choice! They are an awesome option when you are craving chips and guacamole.
