Ingredients
- 4 large burrito-size flour tortillas
- 4 oz cream cheese (softened)
- ⅓ cup sour cream
- ⅓ cup hot salsa
- 1.25 oz packet of fajita seasoning
- 4 oz can of diced green chiles (drained)
- 1 cup fiesta blend cheese
- ½ cup chopped black olives
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, blend the cream cheese, sour cream, salsa, and fajita seasoning. This creates a creamy, flavorful base that will really bring the party to your tortillas.
- Divide the creamy mixture evenly across all 4 tortillas. Use a silicone spoon to spread it out, making sure to get it all the way to the edges.
- Sprinkle the diced green chiles, fiesta blend cheese, and black olives over the tortillas. The cheese will melt and get all gooey when they’re rolled up—trust me, it’s magic!
- Starting from one end of each tortilla, tightly roll it up, making sure everything stays inside. When you reach the other end, you’ll have a neat little roll ready to be wrapped up.
- Wrap each tortilla roll tightly in plastic wrap and let it chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour. This allows the flavors to meld together and makes slicing them later much easier!
- Once chilled, remove the rolls from the plastic wrap and cut off about 1 inch from each end (don’t let that go to waste—give it a taste!).
- Then slice the rest into 1-inch pieces, and voilà! You’ve got a platter of pinwheels ready to serve.
