- 8 oz deli ham, sliced
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup fresh spinach leaves
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather all ingredients and ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature for easy spreading, which helps it spread smoothly over the tortillas.
- Spread Cream Cheese: Using a knife or spatula, spread a generous and even layer of softened cream cheese over each flour tortilla, covering the entire surface.
- Add Layers: Evenly layer the sliced deli ham on top of the cream cheese, followed by sprinkling the shredded cheddar cheese and then placing the fresh spinach leaves to create a balanced and flavorful filling.
- Roll Tortillas: Carefully roll each tortilla tightly from one end to the other, ensuring the fillings stay inside and the roll holds its shape well.
- Slice Into Pinwheels: Using a sharp knife, slice each rolled tortilla into 1-inch thick pinwheel shapes to create bite-sized appetizer pieces that are easy to serve and eat.
- Serve: Arrange the pinwheels neatly on a serving platter and serve immediately as a delicious and visually appealing party bite.
Notes
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for smooth spreading.
- For added flavor, consider using flavored cream cheese or adding herbs like dill or chives.
- Pinwheels can be made a few hours ahead and refrigerated until serving, but slice just before serving to prevent drying out.
- These pinwheels are best served chilled or at room temperature.
- You can substitute spinach with other leafy greens or add sliced pickles or olives for variety.
