Preparation

  1. In medium bowl, mix cream cheese, shredded cheese, bacon and jalapeño slices. Divide mixture among tortillas, spreading evenly over tortillas, leaving 1/2-inch border. Roll up very tightly. Cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate at least 2 hours but no longer than 24 hours.
  2. To serve, trim 1/2 inch from end of each roll, and discard. Cut each roll into 6 (1-inch) slices. Serve with salsa, if desired.

Expert Tips

  • If you want to add a little variety to your pinwheel plate, swap your favorite variety of shredded cheese for the cheddar cheese—anything goes!
  • You can use one 8-oz package of cream cheese instead of the cream cheese spread. Soften cream cheese as directed on package before spreading it on tortillas.
  • The key to making these pinwheels look as amazing as they taste is in the rolling—make sure you get a nice, tight roll to make slicing a cinch.
