Ingredients
  • 2 large Flour Tortillas
  • 4 oz Cream Cheese
  • 4 oz Cooked Ham
  • 2 oz Shredded Cheddar Cheese
  • 1/4 tsp Garlic Powder

Prepare the Tortillas

Lay the flour tortillas flat on a clean surface.

Spread the Cream Cheese

Spread the softened cream cheese evenly over each tortilla. Add garlic powder for extra flavour.

Add Ham and Cheese

Layer the sliced ham over the cream cheese, followed by the shredded cheddar cheese.

Roll it Up

Tightly roll each tortilla into a log. Wrap each roll in plastic wrap.

Chill and Slice

Refrigerate the wrapped tortillas for at least 10 minutes. This will help them hold their shape when sliced. For an even quicker result, freeze them for 2-3 minutes.

Cut and Serve

Using a sharp knife, slice each tortilla log into approximately 1-inch thick pinwheels. Serve immediately, or store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Quickly warm them

You can quickly warm the Pinwheels in a preheated oven or air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 2 minutes for a more intense flavor.
