- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 6 (10-inch) flour tortillas
- 1/2 pound thinly sliced deli ham
- 8 ounces thinly sliced cheddar or provolone cheese
- In a small bowl, combine softened cream cheese, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix until smooth.
- Lay out a tortilla on a clean surface. Spread about 2 tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture evenly over the entire surface of the tortilla.
- Arrange a layer of ham slices over the cream cheese, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Place a layer of cheese slices over the ham.
- Starting from one end, tightly roll the tortilla into a log.
- Repeat with the remaining tortillas and fillings.
- Wrap each rolled tortilla log tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours, to allow them to firm up.
- Once chilled, unwrap the tortilla logs. Using a sharp knife, slice each log into 1/2 to 3/4-inch thick pinwheels.
- Arrange the pinwheels on a serving platter and serve immediately.
Notes
- For best results, use large, fresh tortillas that are pliable.
- You can customize the filling by adding finely chopped chives, green onions, or a sprinkle of paprika for extra flavor.
- These pinwheels can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
- If you prefer, you can use different types of deli meat, like turkey or roast beef.
- Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature for easy spreading.
