APPETIZER TORTILLA PINWHEELS

 



People always ask for the recipe when I serve these tortilla pinwheel sandwiches, which was provided to me by a friend. The cream cheese pinwheels can be prepared ahead of time and sliced just before serving, allowing you extra time to complete other last-minute party touches.


Prep: 20 min.          Servings: About 4 dozen

Ingredients

1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 cup sour cream

1 can (4-1/4 ounces) chopped ripe olives

1 can (4 ounces) chopped green chiles, well drained

1/2 cup chopped green onions

Garlic powder to taste

Seasoned salt to taste

5 flour tortillas (10 inches)

Salsa, optional


Directions

To make the cream cheese, cheese, and sour cream smooth, cream together the cream cheese, cheese, and sour cream until smooth. In a mixing bowl, combine the olives, green chiles, green onions, and spices.

Cover the tortillas with the filling and roll them up tightly. After wrapping each in plastic and twisting the ends to close, chill for several hours.

Unwrap. Cut into 1/2- to 3/4-inch slices with a serrated knife. If preferred, serve with salsa.
