Total Time: 10 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 pinwheels
Ingredients
- 1 large tortilla
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup cooked bacon, crumbled
- 1 tbsp ranch seasoning
Instructions
- Gather all the ingredients: 1 large tortilla, 1/2 cup softened cream cheese, 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1/4 cup crumbled cooked bacon, and 1 tablespoon ranch seasoning.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, and ranch seasoning. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Lay the large tortilla flat on a clean surface or cutting board. Spread the cheese and bacon mixture evenly over the entire surface of the tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Starting from one edge of the tortilla, carefully roll it up tightly into a log shape. Make sure to keep the filling inside as you roll.
- Once rolled, use a sharp knife to slice the tortilla log into 1-inch thick pinwheels. You should get about 8 pinwheels from one tortilla.
- Arrange the pinwheels on a serving platter. If desired, you can garnish with additional crumbled bacon or a sprinkle of ranch seasoning for extra flavor.
- Serve immediately as a delicious appetizer or snack, or refrigerate for later enjoyment. Enjoy your Cheddar Bacon Ranch Pinwheels!
Tips
- Choose the Right Tortilla: For the best texture and flavor, opt for large flour tortillas. They roll up nicely and hold the filling well.
- Soften the Cream Cheese: Ensure your cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing. This will make it easier to blend with the other ingredients and create a smooth filling.
- Customize Your Fillings: Feel free to get creative! Add diced green onions, bell peppers, or even jalapeños for an extra kick.
- Chill Before Slicing: For cleaner cuts, refrigerate the rolled tortilla for about 10-15 minutes before slicing. This helps it firm up and makes it easier to handle.
- Presentation Matters: Arrange your pinwheels on a platter and garnish with extra crumbled bacon or a sprinkle of ranch seasoning for an eye-catching presentation.
- Perfect for Meal Prep: These pinwheels can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge. Just slice and serve when you’re ready for a snack!
