Ingredients
Scale
Wrap and Base
- 4 large flour tortillas
Cream Cheese Spread
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 tablespoon ranch seasoning mix
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Vegetables
- ½ cup finely chopped red bell pepper
- ½ cup finely chopped cucumber (seeds removed)
- ½ cup finely chopped shredded carrots
- ¼ cup finely chopped green onions
- ¼ cup chopped fresh spinach
Instructions
- Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese with the ranch seasoning mix and stir until smooth and evenly incorporated.
- Add Cheddar and Vegetables: Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, followed by the finely chopped red bell pepper, cucumber, shredded carrots, green onions, and fresh spinach until everything is well combined to create a colorful and flavorful filling.
- Spread on Tortillas: Lay the flour tortillas flat on a clean surface and spread a generous, even layer of the cream cheese mixture over each tortilla, covering the entire surface.
- Roll and Wrap: Carefully roll up each tortilla tightly from one edge to the other, then wrap each roll in plastic wrap to maintain shape.
- Chill to Set: Refrigerate the wrapped tortillas for at least 1 hour, allowing the cream cheese mixture to firm up and making the rolls easier to slice.
- Slice and Serve: Once chilled, unwrap the rolls and slice each into 1-inch wide pinwheels. Arrange them on a serving platter and serve immediately as a fresh, no-cook appetizer or snack.
Notes
- For a gluten-free option, substitute flour tortillas with gluten-free tortillas.
- These pinwheels are ideal for party platters, lunchboxes, or quick appetizers.
- Enhance flavor by adding chopped olives or jalapeños to the cream cheese mixture as desired.
