Ingredients

8 ounce cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
½ cup pepper jelly
½ teaspoon garlic powder
1 cup white cheddar cheese, shredded
½ cup crumbled, cooked bacon
4 green onions, diced
3 burrito sized flour tortillas

Instructions

Place the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, garlic powder, and pepper jelly in a large bowl. Mix with a mixer until creamy.
Stir in the shredded cheese, crumbled bacon, and green onions.
Spread the mixture on the tortillas. Spread the mixture out in an even layer.
Roll the tortillas up as tightly as possible. Wrap each tortilla roll in plastic wrap and then place in the refrigerator or freezer to chill.
Let them chill for at least an hour. Remove the plastic wrap. Slice the ends off of each tortilla roll. Using a sharp knife, slice into rounds, about 1 inch wide.

Notes

Soften the cream cheese before mixing. This helps make the creamy cheese creamy and not lumpy. It also helps make it easier to spread on the tortillas.
Spread evenly and to the edges. Make sure to spread the cream cheese mixture in an even layer and out to the edges of the tortillas.
Roll tightly. Roll the tortilla as tight as possible. This will help the pinwheels stay together.
Chill before slicing. Keep in the refrigerator before slicing.
Wipe off the knife. Clean off your sharp knife between cuts.
