Description

A delightful blend of meats, cheeses, and fresh vegetables wrapped in a soft tortilla, perfect for gatherings or a quick snack.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large tortillas (flour or whole wheat)
  • 250 g cream cheese
  • 200 g deli meats (turkey, salami, or ham)
  • 100 g shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup fresh vegetables (spinach, bell peppers, or cucumbers)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine 250 g of cream cheese with herbs like garlic powder and parsley. Blend until smooth.
  2. Assemble the Pinwheels: Spread a layer of the cream cheese mixture on each tortilla, then add shredded cheese, deli meats, and fresh vegetables.
  3. Roll the Tortillas: Tightly roll each tortilla into a log shape, ensuring ingredients are tucked inside.
  4. Slice the Pinwheels: Use a sharp knife to slice the rolled tortilla into bite-sized pieces, about 2.5 cm thick.
  5. Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the pinwheels for at least 30 minutes before serving for the best flavor.
