Cream Cheese Tasty Tortilla Pinwheels

Submitted by Loves_2cook

"Cream Cheese rolled inside a flour tortilla with spices and green onions. This recipe started compliments of my brothers girlfriend and I adapted it to my taste! I'm always asked to make these!"

 

• Ready In: 10mins
• Ingredients: 11
• Yields: 50 slices
• Serves: 6-8

ingredients

• 2 (8 ounce) cream cheese
• 1 (6 inch) package flour tortillas
• 2 -3 green onions

• Spices to taste

• 1⁄2 teaspoon marjoram
• 1⁄2 teaspoon savory
• 1⁄2 - 1 teaspoon parsley
• 1⁄2 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1⁄2 teaspoon chili powder
• salsa, to serve

directions

1. Soften cream cheese, slice up your green onions and add your herbs -- I taste as I go and there are many combinations but this has been my favorite. Blend well and put your tortillas on a flat surface. Spread cream cheese mixture to edges and roll up.
2. If you use the 6 inch tortillas it makes about 6 or 7 rolls depending on how thick you spread the cheese.
3. Put in the refrigerator covered with saran wrap. Let them chill back until they are firm. Then remove and cut in 3/4 inch slices. Arrange on a dish with toothpicks and have your salsa in the center to dip!
4. Delicious!

I have several recipes that make a sweeter pinwheel, but now I'm able to add this one to my small but growing file of more savory pinwheel treats! I'm with ~Nimz~ in that I do enjoy these little tasties with more filling in each tortilla! I'll certainly be including these on my next finger food counter when I host a group! Thanks for posting your recipe! [Made & reviewed for one of my adoptees in the current round of Pick A Chef] http://www.recipezaar.com/bb/viewtopic.zsp?t=327498

There I was, with enough recipes to make in the middle of my PAC Spring 2010 commitment -- and I came across your recipe. I just had to make it! I wasn't disappointed! I made it exactly as given, except I used chipotle chile powder. Delicious! I have a feeling I'll be making this a lot. Thanks!

We loved this as an afternoon snack. The flavors were just excellent as written and I don't think I'll change a thing about it except maybe put more on each tortilla. I used this with our homemade salsa. Thanks for sharing. Made for PAC Spring 2010 :)

Made these last night for a BBQ - followed directions using whole wheat tortillas. They were a HIT - all were eaten! SUPER RECIPE! Thanks!

Delicious! I added some red bell pepper so it had the colors of the Mexican flag. I also used fresh parsley and garlic since I had some on hand. I think it might become a Cinco De Mayo tradition. Thank you.
