Cooking Instructions

30 mins
  1. 1

    Warm Philadelphia Cream Cheese just enough to blend it with ease.

  2. 2

    Chop your fresh vegetables and gather your other items needed.

  3. 3

    Completely drain your roasted green chilies and black olives. Squeeze green chilies in cheese cloth or thick, quality paper towels to ensure there are no fluids remaining.

  4. 4

    Mix everything in the Pinwheel Mixture section well.

  5. 5

    Gather your large flour tortillas and place each on a sheet of cling wrap.

  6. 6

    Smear your cream cheese mixture on your tortillas [as thick or as thin as you'd like] leaving bare areas at the sides as pictured below. If you spread your mixture thinner - you should get 4 large tortillas filled. And at 1" cuts, you should get about 30 Green Chilie Pinwheels.

  7. 7

    Roll your filled tortilla up snugly and wrap in cling wrap tightly. Try to mold your tortilla into a round shape but try not to squeeze your mixture out of any end. You'll be trimming those ends off anyway.

  8. 8

    Place rolls in the fridge for 2.5 hours minimum. Longer if possible.

  9. 9

    Once fully chilled, trim the ends off and discard. Roll once more for roundness or, square-ness if you'd like. Using a sharp knife or even dental floss, cut your wheels into 1" thicknesses. Enjoy!
