Salsa Pinwheel

These salsa pinwheels are a creamy, cheesy, and zesty snack perfect for parties, lunches, or anytime munchies. Made with soft tortillas, a flavorful cheese and salsa filling, and rolled into bite-sized spirals, they’re a crowd-pleaser with minimal effort.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 3/4 cup chunky salsa, well-drained
  • 2 green onions, finely chopped
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Let cream cheese sit at room temperature to soften.
  2. In a bowl, combine cream cheese, cheddar cheese, salsa, green onions, garlic powder, and salt. Mix until smooth and well-blended.
  3. Lay out tortillas on a flat surface and spread the filling evenly over each, reaching the edges.
  4. Roll each tortilla tightly into a log shape.
  5. Wrap each rolled tortilla in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up.
