How to Make Whole Wheat Tortilla Pinwheels

  1. In a medium bowl, combine 4 ounces of softened cream cheese, 1 tablespoon of taco seasoning, and 2 tablespoons of picante sauce.
  2. Stir until completely smooth and well blended.
  3. Gently fold in 1/2 cup chopped black olives, 1/4 cup chopped green chiles, 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1/4 cup chopped bell peppers (any color), 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, and 1 clove minced garlic.
  4. Lay one 6-inch whole wheat tortilla flat on a plate.
  5. Spread a thin, even layer of the cream cheese mixture over the tortilla, leaving a 1/2-inch border.
  6. Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then fold up the bottom edge. Tightly roll the tortilla from the bottom to the opposite end.
  7. Using a sharp knife, cut the roll into 1-inch slices.
  8. Place the pinwheels on a festive serving platter.
  9. Repeat steps 4-8 with the remaining tortillas (approximately 6-8, depending on size).
  10. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture, or cover and chill in the refrigerator until serving time. Enjoy!
