Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 package cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup pepper jelly
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
Instructions
- Start by gathering all your ingredients: 1 package of softened cream cheese, 1/2 cup of pepper jelly, 4 large flour tortillas, and 1/4 cup of chopped green onions.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and pepper jelly. Use a hand mixer or a spatula to blend them together until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Once the cream cheese and pepper jelly are mixed, take one flour tortilla and lay it flat on a clean surface or cutting board.
- Spread a generous layer of the cream cheese and pepper jelly mixture evenly over the entire surface of the tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Sprinkle a portion of the chopped green onions over the cream cheese mixture, distributing them evenly.
- Starting from one edge, carefully roll the tortilla tightly into a log shape. Make sure to keep the filling inside as you roll.
- Once rolled, place the tortilla seam-side down on the cutting board. Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas, cream cheese mixture, and green onions.
- After all tortillas are rolled, use a sharp knife to slice each log into pinwheels, approximately 1-inch thick.
- Arrange the pinwheels on a serving platter. You can garnish with additional chopped green onions or a drizzle of pepper jelly if desired.
- Serve immediately or cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve. Enjoy your delicious Pepper Jelly Cream Cheese Pinwheels!
Tips
- Make sure your cream cheese is completely softened for the smoothest possible mixture. Let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before preparing.
- For the neatest pinwheels, use a sharp, non-serrated knife when slicing to get clean, even cuts.
- If you want to prepare these ahead of time, you can roll the tortillas and wrap them tightly in plastic wrap, refrigerating for up to 24 hours before slicing and serving.
- Experiment with different types of pepper jelly - from mild to hot - to customize the spice level to your liking.
- For an extra touch of elegance, try using flavored cream cheese as a base to add more depth to your pinwheels.
- If the tortillas are hard to roll, warm them slightly in the microwave for 10-15 seconds to make them more pliable.
