Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 14.5 ounces diced tomatoes, drained (1 can)
- 2.25 ounces sliced black olives, drained (1 small can)
- 1 packet Italian dressing mix
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Assembly
- 4 ounces pepperoni slices
- 4 large flour tortillas (burrito sized) or 8 small flour tortillas
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to blend the softened cream cheese, drained diced tomatoes, drained sliced black olives, Italian dressing mix, and shredded mozzarella cheese until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Spread Mixture: Evenly distribute one quarter of the cheese mixture onto each flour tortilla, spreading it out to cover the surface evenly. Then, layer the pepperoni slices on top of the mixture on each tortilla.
- Roll and Chill: Roll each tortilla up tightly to form a log shape, then wrap each roll securely in plastic wrap. Place the wrapped rolls in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to allow the filling to set and the roll to firm up, making slicing easier.
- Slice and Serve: After chilling, remove the plastic wrap and trim the ends of each roll. Cut each tortilla roll into eight equal slices to create bite-sized pinwheels. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use large burrito-sized tortillas for easier rolling and to yield larger pinwheels.
- Chilling the rolls before slicing helps maintain their shape and makes them easier to cut.
- These pinwheels can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- Feel free to customize with additional ingredients like diced bell peppers or pepper jack cheese for a spicy twist.
