Green Chile Pinwheels
Green chile pinwheels are an easy appetizer full of flavor. Made with diced green chiles, cream cheese, and shredded cheese, these are perfect for a game day bite, party appetizer, or even lunch.
Servings: 24 pinwheels
Ingredients
- 8 ounce cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup sour cream
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 ounce can diced green chiles, drained
- 3 green onions, diced
- 3 flour tortillas
Instructions
- Place the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and garlic powder in a large bowl. Mix together with an electric mixer.
- Stir in the diced green onions, shredded cheddar cheese, and drained green chiles until combined.
- Spread 1/3 of the mixture on top of one tortilla. Tightly roll up the tortilla into a roll. Make sure to roll as tight as possible.
- Wrap the tortilla roll in plastic wrap and refrigerate.
- Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
- Let the tortilla roll refrigerate for at least an hour. Unwrap the plastic wrap and slice off the ends of the tortilla roll.
- Slice into 1/2 inch pinwheels.
- Serve or store and refrigerate until ready to eat.
Notes
- Soften the cream cheese before mixing. This will help make it easier to spread over the tortilla.
- Make sure to drain the green chiles well so that the mixture doesn't become too watery.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture just out to the edges of the tortilla in an even layer.
- Make sure to chill before slicing. If you are in a hurry, you can even stick them in the freezer for about 30 minutes.
