PrintServings: 50 pinwheels
Ingredients
- 12 slices cooked bacon crumbled
- 2 packages cream cheese 8oz each (I use 1/3 reduced fat), at room temperature
- 1/2 cup sour cream I use reduced fat, at room temperature
- 1/2 packet ranch dressing and seasoning mix about 1 1/2 tablespoons
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese shredded
- 1/2 red bell pepper finely chopped
- 5-8 tortillas 8 inch, I used green spinach tortillas, found by all the other tortillas in the grocery store
Instructions
- Start by cooking the bacon. Slice raw bacon into small pieces and put into pan. Cook for approximately 5 minutes or until just crispy, using a slotted spoon transfer to a paper towel lined plate to drain and cool.
- Using a hand or stand mixer beat the cream cheese and sour cream together. Add powdered ranch mix and blend until smooth. Add in shredded cheese, bacon and peppers and mix until combined.
- Lay spinach tortilla on a flat surface.
- Spread cream cheese mixture all the way to the edges of the tortilla.
- Roll tortilla tightly. To seal the tortilla closed, use a small amount of the cream cheese mixture.
- Slice into even sections, about 1-1 1/2 inch pieces
- Arrange as a Christmas tree on a flat board.
- Enjoy!
