Ingredients:
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon ranch seasoning mix (or your favorite seasoning)
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup deli turkey or ham slices
- 1/2 cup spinach leaves or lettuce
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes or bell peppers
- 1/4 cup sliced black olives (optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Spread: In a bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and ranch seasoning until smooth and well combined.
- Assemble the Pinwheels: Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread a layer of the cream cheese mixture evenly over the tortilla. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the cream cheese, then layer deli meat, spinach or lettuce, diced tomatoes or bell peppers, and olives (if using).
- Roll and Slice: Roll the tortilla up tightly into a log. Repeat with the remaining tortillas. Once all tortillas are rolled, slice each roll into 1-inch pinwheels.
- Serve: Arrange the pinwheels on a platter and serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving to allow them to firm up.
