Description

These creamy ranch pinwheels with roasted red peppers are a no-cook appetizer or snack, featuring a savory ranch-flavored cream cheese spread, shredded cheese, and vibrant veggies all wrapped in soft tortillas. Perfect for parties, picnics, or lunchboxes.


Ingredients

4 large flour tortillas (10-inch)

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1 packet ranch seasoning mix (or about 2 tbsp homemade ranch seasoning)

1 cup shredded cheddar or Mexican cheese blend

1 cup roasted red peppers, drained and finely chopped

2 green onions, thinly sliced (optional)

Fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped (optional)


Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, mix softened cream cheese with ranch seasoning until smooth and well combined.
  2. Lay a tortilla flat and spread one-fourth of the cream cheese mixture evenly across it, leaving a small border around the edges.
  3. Sprinkle shredded cheese, chopped roasted red peppers, and green onions evenly over the spread.
  4. Roll the tortilla tightly into a log and wrap it in plastic wrap. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
  5. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the pinwheels to set.
  6. Unwrap and slice each roll into ½ to 1-inch thick pinwheels. Garnish with parsley or cilantro if desired, and serve.

Notes

Use spinach or sun-dried tomato tortillas for extra color and flavor.

Swap roasted red peppers with roasted jalapeños for a spicy twist.

Add turkey or ham slices for extra protein.

Store leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Do not freeze, as cream cheese texture changes.
