Instructions

Flatten each roll into a 6 to 7-inch circle.
Cover with plastic wrap and let rest while making filling.
Combine remaining ingredients in a bowl and mix well.
Remove plastic wrap from rolls.
Place about ¼ cup filling onto each circle being careful not to let it touch the edges.
Wet the edges of each circle with water.
