Ingredients
- 4 large pieces tortillas
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 2 medium-sized jalapenos
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 stalks green onions
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons paprika
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Directions
Step 1
1. Begin by softening the cream cheese: if it is too firm, let it sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes or microwave briefly (no more than 10 seconds) to achieve a spreadable consistency.
Step 2
2. Finely dice the jalapenos. Remove seeds and membranes for less heat, or leave them in if you prefer a spicier filling.
Step 3
3. Thinly slice the green onions and set aside.
Step 4
4. In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, diced jalapenos, green onions, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Step 5
5. Mix thoroughly with a spatula or spoon until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Step 6
6. Lay a tortilla flat on a cutting board or clean surface.
Step 7
7. Spread about 1/4 of the cream cheese mixture evenly onto the tortilla, leaving a small margin of about 1/2 inch around the edges.
Step 8
8. Roll the tortilla tightly into a log shape. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
Step 9
9. Once all tortillas are rolled, place them seam-side down and chill in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to set (this will make slicing easier).
Step 10
10. Remove the rolled tortillas from the refrigerator and use a sharp knife to slice them into 1-inch-thick pinwheels.
Step 11
11. Arrange the pinwheels on a serving platter and enjoy immediately, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
