Description

Delicious and easy appetizer perfect for holiday gatherings, these pinwheels are packed with flavors everyone loves.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup cooked bacon, crumbled
  • 1/2 cup green onion, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, and crumbled bacon. Add finely chopped green onion, garlic powder, and black pepper. Blend until smooth.
  2. Lay a flour tortilla flat and spread a layer of the cheese and bacon mixture, leaving a small border around the edges.
  3. Roll the tortilla tightly from one end into a log shape, ensuring the filling stays inside. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
  4. Wrap each rolled tortilla in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up.
  5. After chilling, slice each tortilla log into 1-inch thick pinwheels and arrange on a serving platter. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

Chilling the pinwheels helps them maintain their shape when slicing. Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor.
