Categories     Cheese

Yield 30 pinwheels

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 oz. cream cheese, softened
1 tsp chili powder
2 tbsp minced onion
1 tbsp chopped cilantro
4 oz can of chopped chilies, drained
4 oz. of sliced, black olives
5 10 inch flour or wheat tortillas

Steps:

  • Stir together cream cheese and chili powder until smooth. Stir in onion, cilantro, chilies, olives and salt and pepper to taste. Stir until well blended. Spread 1/3 cup of mixture onto each tortilla. Roll up tightly, jelly roll fashion. Put tortillas, seam side down in individual Saran Wrap packages. Chill for 2 - 4 hours. Trim ends and cut into 1 1/4 inch pieces. Serve at room temperature with salsa.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Tortillas: Select soft, pliable tortillas that are easy to roll and won't crack or tear.
  • Keep Ingredients Cold: Chill the cream cheese mixture and fillings before assembling the pinwheels. This will help them stay firm and prevent them from becoming too soft and messy.
  • Spread Evenly: When spreading the cream cheese mixture onto the tortilla, use a rubber spatula or the back of a spoon to ensure an even and thin layer.
  • Roll Tightly: Roll the tortilla up tightly, starting from one of the long sides. Use gentle but firm pressure to create a compact and even roll.
  • Chill Before Slicing: After rolling the pinwheels, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight. This will help them set and make them easier to slice.
  • Slice Carefully: Use a sharp knife to slice the pinwheels into even pieces. Wipe the knife clean between each slice to prevent the fillings from sticking.
  • Garnish and Serve: Arrange the pinwheels on a serving platter and garnish with fresh herbs, chopped nuts, or a drizzle of sauce, if desired. Serve immediately or store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
