Servings: 30 pinwheels
Course: Appetizer, Snack
Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 16 oz cream cheese
  • 4-5 slices honey ham lunch meat
  • 1 bunch green onions chopped
  • 2 cups Mexican style four cheese shredded cheese finely shredded
  • 1 packet ranch dressing mix
  • 1 bag burrito flour tortillas 8 count

Method
 

Prep the ingredients:
  1. Soften cream cheese packets
  2. Rip the ham into small pieces
    3. This is key! I have had pinwheels with solid slices of ham in them and the flavors are so much more balanced when you take the time to do this step.
  3. Clean the green onions and chop the green part of the stalk to include in the pinwheels
Combine:
  1. Combine all of the ingredients in a large bowl until everything is thoroughly mixed together. Avoid clumps of a single ingredient congregating in one spot of the cream cheese.
    2. I use my Kitchen Aid mixer to save my arm and make this part go by way quicker! Use a large fork to combine ingredients otherwise.
Assemble:
  1. Spread the mixture thickly and evenly on a tortilla, cut into slices, and store in the refrigerator.
    2. The end slices typically don't end up looking very nice for serving, so those usually end up in a separate bag for a snack if I'm bringing these to a get together.
