4. Roll up each tortilla tightly, starting from one end to the other.

6. Once chilled, trim the ends, and slice each roll into 1-inch thick pieces.

🍽️ Serving suggestion: Arrange pinwheels on a platter and garnish with extra diced bell peppers or olives for a colorful display.

Variations

• Spicy twist: Add diced jalapeños or a splash of hot sauce to the cream cheese mixture for a little kick! 🌶️
• Herbaceous touch: Mix in fresh herbs like dill or parsley for added flavor and freshness.
