Ingredients

• 4 pieces flour tortillas (8 to 10-inch diameter)
• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 0.25 cup sour cream
• 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
• 0.25 cup salsa
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup shredded rotisserie chicken (optional)
• 0.25 cup sliced black olives (optional)
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and taco seasoning. Mix until smooth and well combined.

Step 2

Fold in the salsa, shredded cheddar cheese, and any optional add-ins such as shredded rotisserie chicken, black olives, or cilantro if desired.

Step 3

Lay a flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread a thin, even layer of the cream cheese mixture over the tortilla, leaving about a 1/2-inch border around the edges.

Step 4

Tightly roll up the tortilla into a log. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.

Step 5

Wrap each rolled tortilla in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up (this makes slicing easier).

Step 6

Remove the plastic wrap and slice each tortilla roll into 1-inch thick pinwheels using a sharp knife.

Step 7

Arrange the pinwheels on a serving platter. Serve immediately or keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
