Ingredients

• 6 8-inch flour tortillas
• 3/4 cup broccoli, chopped fine
• 3/4 cup cauliflower, chopped fine
• 3/4 cup carrots, chopped fine
• 1/2 red pepper, chopped fine
• 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 (1 oz) package ranch dressing mix

Instructions

1. Step 1: Finely chop all the vegetables and combine them in a large bowl. Mix well to distribute the veggies evenly.
2. Step 2: In a separate bowl, blend the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and ranch dressing mix until smooth and creamy.
3. Step 3: Spread about 1/3 cup of the cream cheese mixture evenly over each tortilla.
4. Step 4: Sprinkle an equal amount of the chopped vegetable mixture over the cream cheese layer on each tortilla.
5. Step 5: Roll up each tortilla tightly and wrap individually in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set.

Tips & Variations

• Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature to blend smoothly with the sour cream and ranch mix.
• Refrigerating longer helps the pinwheels hold their shape better when sliced.
• Use a serrated knife for easier slicing without squashing the pinwheels.
• Feel free to swap in your favorite chopped vegetables to customize the flavor and color.

Storage

Store the pinwheels wrapped in plastic wrap or in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They can be kept for up to 24 hours before serving, whether sliced or whole. For best texture, slice right before serving and keep chilled until ready to eat.

FAQs

Can I make these pinwheels ahead of time?

Yes, these pinwheels can be prepared and refrigerated up to 24 hours in advance. Chilling helps them hold together nicely when sliced.

Can I use other types of tortillas or wraps?

Absolutely. While flour tortillas are classic, whole wheat or spinach wraps can add different flavors and nutrients. Just ensure they are large enough to roll tightly with the filling.

Vegetables

• 3/4 cup broccoli, chopped fine
• 3/4 cup cauliflower, chopped fine
• 3/4 cup carrots, chopped fine
• 1/2 red pepper, chopped fine

Spread

• 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 (1 oz) package ranch dressing mix

Wrap

• 6 (8 inch) flour tortillas

Instructions

1. Prepare the Vegetables: Finely chop the broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, and red pepper. Combine all the chopped vegetables in a large bowl and mix well to combine evenly.
2. Make the Cheese Spread: In a separate bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and ranch dressing mix. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
3. Assemble the Pinwheels: Spread approximately 1/3 cup of the cheese mixture evenly onto each flour tortilla. Then sprinkle the chopped vegetable mixture evenly over the spread on each tortilla.
4. Roll and Chill: Carefully roll up each tortilla tightly to enclose the filling. Wrap each rolled tortilla in plastic wrap (Saran Wrap) and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the filling to set and for easier slicing.

Notes

• Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature to make it easier to mix smoothly.
• Refrigerate the rolled tortillas longer than 30 minutes for better firmness when slicing.
• Use a serrated knife to cut the pinwheels for cleaner and easier slices.
• You can store the pinwheels wrapped, cut or uncut, in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
• Feel free to substitute or add vegetables of your choice to customize the veggie mix.
