Scale
Ingredients
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 8 oz deli ham, sliced
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup fresh spinach leaves
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather all ingredients and ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature for easy spreading.
- Spread Cream Cheese: Evenly spread a generous layer of cream cheese over each flour tortilla, covering the entire surface.
- Layer Fillings: Place the deli ham slices evenly on top of the cream cheese, then sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese and finally add fresh spinach leaves.
- Roll Tortillas: Starting from one edge, tightly roll each tortilla to form a log, making sure the filling stays inside.
- Slice Pinwheels: Using a sharp knife, cut each rolled tortilla into approximately 1-inch thick pinwheel slices to create bite-sized pieces.
- Serve: Arrange the pinwheels neatly on a serving platter. Serve immediately as a delightful party appetizer or snack.
Notes
- For even easier slicing, chill the rolled tortillas in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes before cutting.
- You can substitute spinach with other greens like arugula or lettuce for different flavors.
- Use flavored cream cheese (such as garlic and herb) to add an extra twist.
- These pinwheels are best enjoyed fresh but can be refrigerated covered for up to 24 hours.
- Cutting the pinwheels with a very sharp knife or a serrated knife will prevent squishing.
