Ingredients:
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1 tbsp ranch seasoning mix
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup red bell pepper, finely diced
- 1/4 cup yellow bell pepper, finely diced
- 1/4 cup shredded carrots
- 1/4 cup finely chopped spinach leaves
- 2 green onions, finely chopped
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Instructions:
- Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture:
- In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and ranch seasoning mix. Stir until smooth and well-blended. Add the shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, and black pepper, and mix well.
- Add the Vegetables:
- Fold in the finely diced red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, shredded carrots, chopped spinach, and green onions. Mix until the vegetables are evenly distributed throughout the cream cheese mixture.
- Assemble the Pinwheels:
- Lay out the flour tortillas on a clean surface. Spread an even layer of the cream cheese and veggie mixture over each tortilla, making sure to cover the entire surface. Leave a small border around the edges to prevent the filling from squeezing out when rolled.
- Roll and Chill:
- Starting from one edge, tightly roll up each tortilla into a log. Wrap each roll in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and make the pinwheels easier to slice.
- Slice and Serve:
- Remove the rolls from the refrigerator and unwrap them. Using a sharp knife, slice each roll into 1-inch pieces. Arrange the pinwheels on a serving platter.
- Serve:
- Serve the Veggie Ranch Tortilla Pinwheels as a tasty appetizer or snack. Pair them with extra ranch dressing or a dipping sauce of your choice for added flavor.
Veggie Ranch Tortilla Pinwheels are a versatile and easy-to-make appetizer that’s perfect for any occasion. Their combination of creamy, cheesy filling and fresh vegetables makes them a delightful bite-sized treat that everyone will love.
