Tips:

  • Use softened cream cheese for easy spreading. If your cream cheese is cold and hard, let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before using.
  • For a smoother filling, blend the cream cheese and sour cream together until smooth before spreading it on the tortillas.
  • If you don't have a rolling pin, you can use a wine bottle or even a glass to roll out the tortillas.
  • Be careful not to overfill the tortillas, or they will be difficult to roll up. Aim for a thin layer of filling that is evenly distributed.
  • To make the pinwheels easier to cut, chill them for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
  • Serve the pinwheels with your favorite dipping sauce, such as salsa, guacamole, or sour cream.

Conclusion:

Cream cheese tortilla pinwheels are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. They are also a great way to use up leftover tortillas and cream cheese. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a tasty snack or party food that everyone will love.
