Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup jalapenos, diced (pickled or fresh)
- 1/2 cup cooked bacon, crumbled
- 2 green onions, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Stir in the shredded cheddar, diced jalapenos, crumbled bacon, and chopped green onions. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Lay a tortilla flat and spread a thin, even layer of the cheese mixture across the surface, leaving a small margin at the edge.
- Starting from one side, roll the tortilla up into a tight log. Compress gently to secure the spiral.
- Wrap the logs in plastic and refrigerate for 15–30 minutes for cleaner slices. Unwrap and slice into 1/2- to 3/4-inch pinwheels.
- Arrange on a platter and serve immediately, or refrigerate until ready to serve.
Notes
Use pickled jalapenos for a milder flavor, or fresh for a sharper heat. For a vegetarian version, replace bacon with smoked paprika and walnuts.
