Italian Pinwheels: An Amazing Ultimate Recipe for Everyone


  • Author: Lauren Baker
  • Total Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

– 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch)
– 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
– 1 cup sliced deli meats (salami, ham, or turkey)
– 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
– ½ cup roasted red peppers, sliced
– ½ cup baby spinach leaves
– ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
– Salt and pepper, to taste


Instructions

Making Italian Pinwheels is simple and fun! Just follow these easy steps:

1. Prepare the Cream Cheese Spread: In a medium bowl, mix the softened cream cheese with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper until smooth.

2. Spread the Cream Cheese: Take one tortilla and spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture evenly over the entire surface.

3. Layer the Fillings: Start layering the fillings on top of the cream cheese. Begin with a few slices of deli meats, then sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese. Add roasted red peppers and spinach leaves on top.

4. Roll It Up: Carefully start rolling the tortilla from one side, keeping it tight to hold the filling. Roll until you reach the end and secure the filling inside.

5. Repeat: Repeat the process for the remaining tortillas and fillings until all ingredients are used.

6. Chill the Pinwheels: Wrap each rolled tortilla in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours. This helps the flavors meld together and makes slicing easier.

7. Slice the Pinwheels: Once chilled, unwrap the rolls and slice them into 1-inch thick pinwheels using a sharp knife.

8. Arrange on a Platter: Place the sliced pinwheels on a serving platter, showcasing their colorful swirls.
