Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup ranch dressing
  • 2 green onions, finely chopped

Optional Add-ins

  • Diced vegetables (bell peppers, cucumbers, spinach)
  • Diced meats (shredded chicken or turkey)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese and ranch dressing until smooth. Gently fold in shredded cheddar cheese and finely chopped green onions until everything is well incorporated.
  2. Spread the Mixture: Lay one tortilla flat on a clean surface. Evenly spread a generous amount of the cream cheese mixture over the entire surface, making sure to cover it right to the edges.
  3. Roll it Up: Starting from one edge, carefully roll the tortilla tightly into a log shape. Be gentle to avoid any filling squeezing out of the sides.
  4. Slice into Pinwheels: Using a sharp knife, slice the rolled tortilla into 1-inch thick rounds. Arrange the pinwheels on a serving platter.

Notes

  • Use room temperature cream cheese for easier mixing and spreading.
  • Chill before slicing to help the pinwheels hold their shape.
  • Experiment with flavored tortillas, like spinach or sun-dried tomato.
  • Prepare the pinwheels a day in advance for stress-free entertaining.
  • Arrange the pinwheels in a circular pattern for an eye-catching display.
