Description

Taco Pinwheels are a delightful fusion of creamy and savory flavors, wrapped in a soft tortilla. Each bite offers a satisfying crunch from the fresh vegetables, complemented by the rich, zesty cream cheese filling that dances on your palate.


Ingredients

  • Tortillas: 4 large flour tortillas
  • Cream Cheese: 8 oz, softened
  • Sour Cream: 1/2 cup
  • Taco Seasoning: 2 tablespoons
  • Shredded Cheese: 1 cup, cheddar or Mexican blend
  • Green Onions: 1/4 cup, finely chopped
  • Bell Pepper: 1/2 cup, finely diced
  • Black Olives: 1/4 cup, sliced

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese, sour cream, and taco seasoning until smooth.
  2. Spread an even layer of the cream cheese mixture over each tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.
  3. Sprinkle shredded cheese, green onions, bell pepper, and black olives evenly over the cream cheese layer.
  4. Starting from one end, tightly roll each tortilla into a log shape.
  5. Wrap each log in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up.
  6. Once chilled, remove from the refrigerator and slice into 1-inch pinwheels.
  7. Arrange on a serving platter and enjoy!

Notes
