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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Slice and Serve: Once chilled, remove from the refrigerator and unwrap. Using a serrated knife, slice each roll into 1/2 to 1-inch thick pinwheels. Arrange on a serving platter and serve chilled.
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.
