Tortilla Pinwheels

Tortilla Pinwheels, filled with cream cheese, olives, green onions, and green chiles, are such an easy make-ahead party food.

Versatile Recipe

These pinwheels are so versatile. Serve them for a party appetizer, a potluck, brunch, as a snack or gameday treat. Taste great on their own and even better with salsa for dipping.

Make Ahead

The pinwheels should be assembled at least 4 hours and up to 24 hours in advance. It’s best to wait to slice them shortly before serving.

Recommended Equipment

A hand-held electric mixer makes it easy to beat together the cream cheese mixture. If you don’t have one, you can make due with a wooden spoon.

What Size Tortillas To Use?

I find 8 to 10-inch tortillas work best for this recipe.

Storage

Once sliced, leftovers will keep for a day or two in the refrigerator if you wrap them well so the tortillas won’t dry out. Over time, the tortillas will develop a soggy texture, so try to eat them within a few days.

Tortilla Pinwheels Recipe Tip

Don’t skip the step of warming the tortillas in the microwave. This makes them pliable so they don’t tear when you roll them.

Don’t like olives? Try replacing them with black beans.

Make It Spicy

To make this easy appetizer spicy, either serve with hot salsa or add 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper to the cream cheese mixture.
