Vegetables
- 3/4 cup broccoli, chopped fine
- 3/4 cup cauliflower, chopped fine
- 3/4 cup carrots, chopped fine
- 1/2 red pepper, chopped fine
Spread
- 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 (1 oz) package ranch dressing mix
- 6 8-inch flour tortillas
- Prepare Vegetables: Finely chop the broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, and red pepper. Place all chopped vegetables in a large bowl and mix them together to combine evenly.
- Make the Spread: In a separate bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and ranch dressing mix. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
- Assemble Pinwheels: Lay out each flour tortilla. Spread about 1/3 cup of the cream cheese mixture evenly over each tortilla. Then sprinkle an equal portion of the mixed finely chopped vegetables onto the spread-covered tortillas.
- Roll and Chill: Carefully roll each tortilla tightly into a log shape. Wrap each roll securely with plastic wrap (Saran Wrap) and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up and allow flavors to meld.
- Slice and Serve: After chilling, unwrap the rolls and slice them into 1/2 to 1 inch pinwheel slices. Arrange on a serving platter and enjoy as a fresh, tasty appetizer or snack.
Notes
- For best results, ensure the cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps in the spread.
- Use a sharp knife to slice the chilled pinwheels to keep them intact and neat.
- Feel free to customize the veggies or add herbs like chopped parsley or chives for additional flavor.
- These pinwheels can be made a few hours ahead and kept refrigerated until serving.
- Wrap tightly with plastic wrap to maintain freshness while chilling.
