Ham and Cheese Tortilla Pinwheels
A no-bake appetizer made by rolling creamcheese, deli ham, and sliced cheese inside a flour tortilla, then chilling andslicing it into pinwheel rounds. No oven needed, and it holds up well made aday ahead for parties.
Ingredients
- 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch, burrito size)
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 8 to 10 slices deli ham
- 8 to 10 slices deli cheese (cheddar, Swiss, or provolone)
- 1 to 2 tbsp ranch seasoning, freshchives, or dill (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Let the cream cheese soften fully at room temperature, then stir in your chosen seasoning.
- Spread a thin, even layer of cream cheese across each tortilla, edge to edge.
- Layer ham slices, then cheese slices, staying about half an inch from the edges.
- Roll tightly from the edge closest to you, folding the first turn snug against the filling.
- Wrap each roll tightly in plastic wrap, twisting the ends closed.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight.
- Trim the ends, then slice into 1-inch rounds with a sharp serrated knife.
Notes
If the rounds unravel when sliced, they likely need more time in the fridge. A full hour minimum is what sets the roll enough to hold its shape once cut.
