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
- In a medium bowl, mix softened cream cheese with ranch seasoning until smooth and well combined.
- Lay a tortilla flat and spread one-fourth of the cream cheese mixture evenly across it, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Sprinkle shredded cheese, chopped roasted red peppers, and green onions evenly over the spread.
- Roll the tortilla tightly into a log and wrap it in plastic wrap. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the pinwheels to set.
- 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.
