1 medium carrot or green pepper or yellow sweet pepper

6 spinach tortillas (7-8 inches)

3/4 C. peanut butter or cream cheese

6 cherry tomatoes

1 oz. cheddar cheese, cut into 12 matchstick pieces

Use a vegetable peeler to peel carrots, Use a sharp knife to cut carrot crosswise into fourths. Cut 1-inch matchstick pieces of carrot or pepper (you should have 48 sticks).  Use a table knife to spread each tortilla with 2 T. of the peanut butter or cream cheese and about  1 T. of the jelly. Roll up tortillas to form spirals; press lightly to seal. Put the rolled tortillas on a cutting board. Cut each tortilla crosswise into five pieces.  On each of the six plates, arrange five tortillas pieces side to side, in a wavy line, with cut side down to resemble a caterpillar. To make a caterpillar head put a tomato at the end and insert pieces of cheddar cheese in tomato for antennae. To make legs, arrange four carrot sticks on each side of caterpillar.
