Why You’ll Love These Tortilla Pinwheels

These pinwheels are simple, versatile, and ideal for preparing ahead of time. The cream cheese acts as the base that holds all the ingredients together, while the ham and bacon add a delicious savory flavor. Green onions bring a fresh bite, and melted-style shredded cheese adds richness.

They’re also easy to customize. You can use different cheeses, add a little ranch seasoning, or swap the ham for turkey or another deli meat.

Ingredients

• 4 large flour tortillas
• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 6–8 slices deli ham
• 1/2 cup cooked bacon bits
• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 2–3 green onions, thinly sliced
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• Salt, to taste

Step-by-Step Method

Step 1: Soften the Cream Cheese

Remove the cream cheese from the refrigerator and allow it to soften at room temperature for about 20–30 minutes.

Soft cream cheese is much easier to spread across the tortillas without tearing them. If the cream cheese is too firm, it can pull against the tortilla and create holes.

Step 2: Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture

Place the softened cream cheese in a medium mixing bowl.

Add the garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and a small pinch of salt. Stir everything together until the mixture is smooth and evenly seasoned.

Taste the mixture and adjust the seasoning if needed. Keep in mind that the ham, bacon, and cheese already contain salt, so you don’t need much additional salt.

Step 3: Prepare the Other Ingredients

Cook the bacon until crisp if you are using freshly cooked bacon. Allow it to cool slightly, then crumble or chop it into small pieces.

Thinly slice the green onions, including some of the green portion for a fresh pop of color.

Shred the cheddar cheese if you’re using a block of cheese.

Having everything prepared before assembling the tortillas makes the process much easier.
