Ingredients for Veggie Cream Cheese Pinwheels

• 16 ounces (2 packages) cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup finely diced red bell pepper
• 1/2 cup shredded carrots
• 1/2 cup chopped baby spinach leaves
• 1/4 cup sliced green onions
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 4 large flour tortillas

Step-by-Step Instructions to Roll Perfect Pinwheels

1. In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth using a hand mixer or sturdy spatula.
2. Stir in the diced bell pepper, shredded carrots, chopped spinach, sliced green onions, and garlic powder. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
3. Lay a flour tortilla flat on a clean work surface. Spread about ¼ of the veggie cream cheese mixture evenly over the tortilla, leaving a ½-inch border.
4. Starting at one edge, roll the tortilla into a tight log. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
5. Wrap each log in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best slicing.
6. Unwrap and slice each log into 1-inch pinwheels. Arrange on a platter and garnish with extra green onions if desired.
