Fiesta Pinwheels
These colorful pinwheels are made with a delightful combination of flavors and textures, starting with a creamy spread and finishing with fresh vegetables wrapped in a tortilla. Here’s how to create this perfect party appetizer.
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:
- 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.
- Add in the crumbled bacon, diced bell peppers, chopped cilantro, and sliced olives. Stir gently to incorporate all ingredients.
- 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.
- Starting from one edge, carefully roll the tortilla tightly into a log. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and filling.
- Once rolled, wrap each tortilla log in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up the filling.
- After chilling, remove the pinwheels from the plastic wrap and slice them into 1-inch thick pieces.
- Arrange the pinwheels on a serving platter and serve them chilled or at room temperature.
