15 MinutesIngredients
- 8 oz cream cheese low fat, softened
- 2 tbsp red bell pepper, finely chopped
- 3 tbsp chopped green onions
- 2 tbsp Dash™ Southwest Chipotle Seasoning blend
- 4 each flour tortillas, large
With just the right amount of spice, this colorful appetizer of rolled tortillas filled with a tangy cream cheese spread made with the Dash™ Southwest Chipotle Seasoning Blend will be the center of attention at any get-together.
Directions
- In a bowl, mix the cream cheese, diced bell pepper, green onion, and Dash™ Southwest Chipotle Seasoning until evenly combined.
- Divide the cream cheese mixture into four portions. Spread a thin, even layer of the mixture onto each flour tortilla.
- Starting from one end, gently roll each tortilla into a tight log. Ensure the roll is firm to maintain its shape.
- Tightly wrap each rolled tortilla in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until ready to serve. This helps the rolls hold their shape and makes slicing easier.
- When ready to serve, unwrap each roll and trim the uneven edges. Slice each roll into eight 1-inch pieces.
- Arrange the pinwheel slices on their sides on a colorful platter for an eye-catching presentation.
Tips
- Chef’s Tip -For added flavor and texture, include a thin layer of sliced turkey or ham on top of the cream cheese mixture before rolling. This adds a savory element to the pinwheels and makes them more filling. You can also sprinkle in shredded cheese or chopped fresh cilantro for an extra burst of flavor!
