Scale
Creamy Ranch Filling:
- 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 ounce packet ranch seasoning mix
- 1/2 cup finely shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup finely chopped cooked bacon
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 1/4 cup finely diced red bell pepper (optional)
Additional:
- 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch)
Instructions
- Prepare the Creamy Ranch Filling: In a medium bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and ranch seasoning until smooth and well combined.
- Assemble the Pinwheels: Fold in the cheddar cheese, bacon, green onions, and red bell pepper if using. Lay out the tortillas and divide the mixture evenly, spreading it in a thin, even layer across each one.
- Roll and Chill: Roll up each tortilla tightly into a log shape. Wrap the rolls in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up.
- Serve: After chilling, slice into 1-inch pinwheels and serve cold.
Notes
- These pinwheels are versatile and can be customized with different ingredients like turkey, ham, or spinach.
- For a lighter option, use low-fat cream cheese and sour cream.
