1. Spread each flour tortilla with 1/3 of Boursin cheese or semisoft cheese with garlic and herbs. Add a layer of the large basil leaves to cover cheese. Divide roasted red sweet pepper strips between the tortillas; arrange roasted red pepper strips over the basil leaves 1 to 2 inches apart. Top with meat slices. Spread 1 teaspoon mayonnaise or salad dressing over the meat on each tortilla. Roll up the tortillas tightly into a spiral, enclosing the filling. Wrap each roll in plastic wrap. Chill the tortilla rolls int eh refrigerator 2 to 4 hours to blend flavors.
