Fiesta Ranch Pinwheels
low carb game day snack
Ingredients
- 8 tortillas low carb-burrito size
- 8 oz softened cream cheese
- 1 oz fiesta ranch mix
- 4.25 oz black olives chopped
- 1 1/2 cups cheeses shredded cheddar - or Mexican blend
- 8 oz chicken chopped- any style of lunch meat
Instructions
Cream Cheese Mixture
- add softened cream cheese to a bowl and add in fiesta ranch dry mix
- blend seasoning and cream cheese until well combined
- add chopped black olives and blend in to cream cheese mixture
- then add cheese in 1/2 cup at a time and mix in well
Assembling the Pinwheel
- On a flat surface like a cutting board, love to use for easy clean up.
- take each tortilla and lay them down flat on the board
- chop up 8 oz of lunch meat and add to the mixture and set aside until ready to assemble
- Take cream cheese mixture and use about a tablespoon give or take and spread a small layer until about 1/4 of an inch towards the end of the tortilla. This will help prevent the cream cheese mixture from spilling out as your roll it up
- once you have the cream cheese mixture on the tortilla you will want to add chopped meat to the top giving an even layer. You can add as much or as little chopped meat as you desire.
- then take the end of the tortilla and roll it up away from you until it is completely in a roll
- keep the tortillas rolled up and set them on a plate - depending on how much cream cheese mixture you have in each tortilla, you may want to use toothpicks to secure the roll helping them stay together. One on the end, one in the middle and one on opposite end.
- Cover the plate of rolled tortillas and place in the fridge to set up for at least an hour - this makes them easier to cut
- Once the rolls have set up take out the tortilla rolls out of the refrigerator and place on a cutting board and slice each in a bout 2 inch slices. This should give you 4-5 each tortilla. There will be a little bit left on the ends of each roll, you can simply enjoy them while you assemble ;)
- Once sliced these pinwheels are ready to enjoy!
- I like to serve mine on a wooden style serving/cutting board
