Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch burrito size)
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 packet (1 ounce) ranch seasoning mix
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup finely diced red bell pepper
  • 3 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup finely diced celery (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, ranch seasoning mix, sour cream, and black pepper until smooth and creamy.
  2. Add shredded cheddar cheese, diced bell pepper, celery, and sliced green onions.
  3. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
  4. Lay tortillas flat on a clean work surface.
  5. Spread the ranch mixture evenly over each tortilla, leaving about 1/2 inch around the edges.
  6. Starting from one side, roll each tortilla tightly into a log.
  7. Wrap each tortilla roll tightly in plastic wrap.
  8. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably 2 to 4 hours, to firm up the filling.
  9. Remove plastic wrap and place rolls on a cutting board.
  10. Using a sharp knife, trim the ends if desired.
  11. Slice each roll into 1-inch pinwheels.
  12. Arrange on a serving platter and serve chilled.

Notes

  • Use room-temperature cream cheese for easier mixing.
  • Chilling the rolls before slicing is essential for clean pinwheels.
  • Fresh tortillas roll more easily and are less likely to crack.
  • Add diced ham, turkey, bacon, or chicken for extra protein.
  • For extra crunch, add finely diced cucumber or celery.
  • Whole wheat tortillas can be substituted for additional fiber.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
  • Perfect for meal prep, parties, potlucks, and lunch boxes.
