Ingredients
  

Cheese Mixture
  • 8 oz cream cheese Can substitute with reduced-fat cream cheese.
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese Feel free to experiment with other cheeses like pepper jack.
  • 1/2 cup sour cream Greek yogurt can be used as a healthier alternative.
Vegetables
  • 1/4 cup diced green bell pepper Can substitute with cucumbers for variety.
  • 1/4 cup diced red bell pepper Any bell pepper works well.
  • 1/4 cup diced green onions Shallots can be used for a milder flavor.
Wraps
  • 4 large flour tortillas Corn tortillas are a gluten-free option.
Seasoning
  • 1 tsp taco seasoning Homemade seasoning can be used for a personalized flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, diced bell peppers, green onions, and taco seasoning until well blended.
  2. Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface and spread a generous layer of the cheese mixture evenly over the tortilla.
  3. Roll the tortilla tightly from one end to the other, ensuring the filling stays inside.
  4. Wrap the rolled tortilla in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up.
  5. Once chilled, remove the plastic wrap and slice the roll into 1-inch pieces.
  6. Arrange the pinwheels on a serving platter and enjoy!

Notes

Common mistakes to avoid include not chilling the roll-ups before slicing and overstuffing the tortillas, which might cause tears when rolling. Pro tips: use a serrated knife for clean, even slices, and let your cream cheese come to room temperature for easier blending.
