Ingredients
Scale:
4 large flour tortillas
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 large green bell pepper, finely chopped
2 tablespoons fresh chives or green onions, chopped
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped green bell pepper, chives or green onions, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Lay one tortilla flat on a clean cutting board. Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to spread a generous layer of the cheese mixture evenly over the entire surface of the tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.
Starting from one edge, carefully roll the tortilla tightly to form a log shape. Ensure that the filling stays inside as you roll.
Wrap each rolled tortilla in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Once chilled, remove the tortillas from the refrigerator. Using a sharp knife, slice each roll into 1-inch thick pinwheels.
