Perfect for parties, snack platters, or quick appetizers, these creamy tortilla pinwheels bring bold flavor and effortless preparation to your table. Featuring soft flour tortillas filled with a luscious mixture of cream cheese, tangy sour cream, melty shredded cheddar, zesty taco seasoning, and a burst of freshness from green onions and green chilies, these pinwheels are a crowd-pleaser. Customize the recipe with savory extras like chopped black olives or shredded chicken for added depth. After a quick chill in the fridge, these bite-sized rolls slice into beautiful spirals, making them as visually appealing as they are delicious. Ready in just 20 minutes with no cooking required, these pinwheels are the ultimate make-ahead snack for any occasion.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese and sour cream. Mix until smooth and well blended.
Add shredded cheddar cheese, diced green chilies, chopped green onions, black olives (if using), taco seasoning, and shredded chicken (if using). Stir until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Lay one flour tortilla on a clean surface. Spoon a generous amount of the filling mixture onto the tortilla and spread it out evenly, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
Starting from one edge, tightly roll the tortilla into a log shape.
Repeat the filling and rolling process with the remaining tortillas and filling mixture.
Wrap each tortilla roll securely in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours to set.
Remove the plastic wrap and use a sharp knife to slice each tortilla roll into approximately 1-inch rounds.
Arrange the pinwheels on a platter and serve chilled. Enjoy!
