Ingredients

Ingredients

  • Large flour tortillas (6)
  • Cream cheese (8 oz, softened)
  • Shredded cheddar (1 cup)
  • Red bell pepper (1, finely diced)
  • Blue corn tortilla chips (1/2 cup, crushed)
  • Plastic wrap

Instructions

  1. Mix filling: In a bowl, mix cream cheese and cheddar until smooth and spreadable.
  2. Add veggies and chips: Stir in diced red pepper and crushed blue corn chips.
  3. Assemble pinwheels: Spread filling evenly over each tortilla, roll tightly, and wrap in plastic wrap.
  4. Chill and slice: Chill at least 1 hour, then slice into 1-inch pinwheels and arrange on a platter.

Notes

  • Chilling for at least 1 hour helps the pinwheels hold their shape when sliced.
