Delicious Ham and Cream Cheese Pinwheels
These pinwheels are filled with a creamy mixture of ham and cheese, wrapped in a tortilla, and sliced into bite-sized pieces. They are visually appealing and offer a delightful combination of flavors and textures.
Ingredients
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup sliced ham
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your choice)
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and well blended.
- Laying one tortilla on a flat surface, spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture over the entire surface of the tortilla.
- Evenly layer on the sliced ham, shredded cheese, and chopped green onions.
- Starting from one edge, carefully roll the tortilla tightly into a log shape. Make sure to keep the filling inside as you roll.
- Once rolled, wrap the tortilla log in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This will help the pinwheels hold their shape when sliced.
- After chilling, remove the wrap and use a sharp knife to slice the log into 1-inch pieces. Arrange the pinwheels on a platter.
- Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and filling mixture.
- Serve chilled or at room temperature and enjoy your delightful creation!
