Ingredients

1 (8 ounce) cream cheese, softened
1 teaspoon garlic powder
6 pieces bacon, cooked and crumbled
2 green onions, diced
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
¼ cup diced jalapenos remove seeds
2 large flour tortillas

Instructions

Place the softened cream cheese and garlic powder in a large bowl. Mix together until creamy.
Stir in the crumbled bacon, diced green onions, cheese, and diced jalapenos.
Spread half of the mixture on top of one of the tortillas. Tightly roll the tortilla into a "log" and then cover in plastic wrap. Repeat with the remaining tortilla and cream cheese mixture.
Chill the tortilla rolls for 30 minutes. Slice into 1-inch pinwheels.

Notes

Adjust the amount of diced jalapeno. Add more or less jalapeno depending on how spicy you want your pinwheels. You can also swap them out with pickled jalapenos for a mild flavor.
Soften the cream cheese. Softening the cream cheese helps make it easier to spread on the tortilla. It also helps to prevent lumps in the cream cheese.
Roll as tight as possible. It is important to roll the tortilla up as tight as possible to help all of the ingredients stay together in the tortilla.
Refrigerate for easier slicing. Refrigerating the rolls before slicing makes cutting the jalapeno pinwheels much easier.
Double the recipe for a crowd. If you have a large crowd, I recommend doubling the recipe.
Try serving with a dipping sauce. I like serving these with a dipping sauce like this Wingstop ranch recipe.
