Description
Easter Ham and Cheddar Pinwheels are a delightful combination of creamy, tangy cream cheese and savory ham, all wrapped in a soft tortilla. Each bite offers a satisfying crunch from the fresh vegetables, balanced by the rich, melty cheddar cheese, creating a flavor explosion that is both refreshing and indulgent.
Ingredients
- Tortillas: 4 large flour tortillas
- Spread: 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- Cheese: 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- Ham: 8 oz thinly sliced deli ham
- Vegetables: 1/2 cup finely chopped green bell pepper, 1/2 cup finely chopped red onion, 1/2 cup shredded carrots
- Seasoning: 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp onion powder, salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
- Spread an even layer of the cream cheese mixture over each tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the cream cheese layer.
- Layer the sliced ham on top of the cheese, followed by the chopped vegetables.
- Starting from one edge, tightly roll the tortilla into a log shape.
