    8 oz cream cheese , 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese , 1 cup Bacon crumbles , ¼ cup Ranch Salad dressing, 2 green onions
  • Line up two flour tortillas so that they overlap by 1 to 2". Spread the cream cheese mixture in an even layer over the two tortillas.
    4 large flour tortillas
  • Starting at one end, roll up into a long log, keeping the wrap tight so that log holds together by the pressed cream cheese inside.
  • Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 1 hour in the refrigerator.
  • When ready to serve, remove the plastic wrap and cut off both uneven end pieces. Cut each tortilla log into 5 - 6 pinwheels.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients: This makes the tortillas easier to roll without cracking.
  • Pat bacon dry before layering: Removing excess grease keeps the pinwheels from getting soggy.
  • Spread ranch evenly: Ensures every bite is flavorful and balanced.
  • Roll tightly but gently: Keeps the layers intact and makes slicing easier.
  • Chill before slicing: Helps the pinwheels hold their shape for clean, uniform pieces.
