# Directions:

01 - Combine pitted black olives, capers, minced garlic, fresh lemon juice, extra-virgin olive oil, chopped parsley, and black pepper in a food processor. Pulse until a coarse paste is achieved.
02 - Lay tortillas flat and spread a thin layer of softened cream cheese evenly over each one. Distribute approximately 2 tablespoons of the prepared tapenade over the cream cheese on each tortilla.

04 - Roll up each tortilla tightly. Slice each rolled tortilla into 1-inch segments.
05 - For a thematic presentation, place a thin cucumber round onto the top of each wrap. Top the cucumber with a pimento-stuffed green olive to resemble an 'eyeball'. Secure with a toothpick if necessary.
