Fiesta Pinwheels

Ingredients:

  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup cooked and crumbled bacon
  • 1/2 cup diced bell peppers (red, green, and yellow)
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1/4 cup black olives, sliced
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined.
  2. Add in the crumbled bacon, diced bell peppers, chopped cilantro, and sliced olives. Stir gently to incorporate all ingredients.
  3. Lay one flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture evenly over the entire surface of the tortilla.
  4. Starting from one edge, carefully roll the tortilla tightly into a log. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and filling.
  5. Once rolled, wrap each tortilla log in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up the filling.
  6. After chilling, remove the pinwheels from the plastic wrap and slice them into 1-inch thick pieces.
  7. Arrange the pinwheels on a serving platter and serve them chilled or at room temperature.
