Chili-Cheese Roll-Ups image

This is a snack I've made for my son when he wants something a little more filling than crackers or a cookie. It could also be made as a dinner entree served alongside a salad or with some refried beans. It uses roasted garlic which I make earlier in the day (cut a 1/2-inch off the top of a head of garlic, take off loose skins, put it on a piece of heavy duty foil, sprinkle a generous amount of olive oil on top, wrap foil tightly around the head of garlic and cook at 325°F for an hour. Remove, cool, and squeeze out creamy garlic paste from each clove).
