Ingredients

  • 1 (8 ounce) cream cheese
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 (.7 ounce) Italian dressing seasoning
  • 10 pieces cooked bacon, crumbled
  • 1 cup tomatoes, diced
  • 2 cup lettuce, chopped

Instructions

  • Place the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, and Italian dressing seasoning in a large bowl. Mix together with a mixer until creamy.
  • Spread half of the cream cheese mixture on a tortilla and the other half on a second tortilla.
  • Top each tortilla with lettuce, chopped bacon, and diced tomatoes.
  • Roll the tortillas up as tight as possible. Wrap with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for at least an hour.
  • When ready to serve, remove the plastic wrap. Slice the end off of the tortillas. Slice into 1 inch pinwheels.
  • Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.

Notes

  • Let the cream cheese soften. Set the cream cheese out at room temperature to soften before creaming with the mayonnaise and mustard.
  • Make sure the tortillas are soft. You don't want to use stale tortillas because they are stiff and hard to roll up without tearing.
  • It's important to let the rolls chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour before slicing and serving.
  • Pat the lettuce and tomatoes dry with a paper towel. Removing any excess moisture helps the pinwheels not get soggy.
  • Try using a serrated knife to slice the pinwheels.
