This recipe is something I have made for years and it is always a crowd pleaser. My favorite thing about this recipe is that you can make it the night before 🙂 Enjoy this recipe from my kitchen to yours. I have included on how to make this recipe gluten – free below. I know this will sound very silly but this recipe really “sings” – meaning there are TONS of flavors that simply just work 😉
What You Need
flour tortillas ( corn if you want to make a gluten – free version)
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 cup sour cream
1 Chopped Jalapenos ( seeded)
2 teaspoons chopped green onion
1/2 diced green pepper
1/4 Teaspoon of Salt
1/2 teaspoon of onion powder
1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder
1.5 Teaspoons of pepper
12 ounces sharp Cheddar cheese, grated
Salsa
1 Tablespoon of finely chopped cilantro
1 Teaspoon of lime juice and plenty of zest
1 Tablespoon of Olive Oil
What To Do
1) Heat oil in a pan and add green pepper, Jalapenos , and salt. Cook till tender about 10 minutes
2) In a medium-sized bowl mix – cream cheese, sour cream, cheddar cheese, onion powder, green onions, garlic powder, pepper, cilantro, lime juice; sauteed green peppers and sauteed Jalapenos.
3) Heat of the tortilla in the microwave ( just 30 seconds) it makes it easier to wrap.
Since these roll ups don't contain any wet ingredients. If you are worried about sogginess, though, line each tortilla with lettuce or spinach leaves before adding your filling.
Can you make pinwheels ahead of time? Yes—tortilla pinwheels are a perfect make-ahead potluck recipe. In fact, you should assemble and roll the pinwheels at least a few hours ahead for best results. However, make them only 24 hours ahead at most to ensure the tortillas do not become soggy.
They're easy to assemble, look great on a platter, and are ideal for a party. To make them, you'll layer flour tortillas with ranch-flavored mayonnaise, sliced cheese, deli meats, and lettuce.All that's left to do is roll them up tightly and slice.
Adding your tortillas intoan already-warm pan instead of a cold one will help them start cooking and getting crispy right away, rather than risking sogginess. Make sure that you lightly grease your dish, which will help keep the tortillas from sticking to the pan.
If pinwheels aren't rolled tightly or the filling is too bulky, they may not hold their shape. Solution: Use toothpicks to secure the tortilla after rolling. Prevention: Do not overfill the tortillas, and ensure there is enough cream cheese to hold the ingredients together.
One of the best ways to keep wraps from getting soggy is by using the correct storage method. Parchment paper or wax paper is ideal for wrapping up your wrap when complete, as it not only keeps the wrap shaped correctly but it also allows it to breathe which prevents moisture build-up that makes wraps soggy.
It is best to wrap the tortilla pinwheel sandwiches individually in plastic wrap. This will prevent them from drying out and help maintain their shape. Place in an airtight container or a sealable plastic bag. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, but it's best to enjoy them the day of making.
You could set up a steamer, but much faster is to simply dip the tortilla in water and toss it straight on a hot surface. As the surface moisture evaporates, it steams the tortilla until it's soft all the way through. Meanwhile, the hot contact with the pan gives it some nice toasty browned spots.
A taquito (Spanish pronunciation: [taˈkito], Spanish for "small taco"), taco dorado, rolled taco, or flauta ( Spanish pronunciation: [ˈflawta], Spanish for "flute") is a Mexican dish that typically consists of a small rolled-up tortilla that contains filling, including beef, cheese or chicken.
Place them on a heat-safe plate and microwave for 30 seconds. Pop the warm tortillas in a storage bag, which will trap the moisture. Remove one at a time to roll.

Airtight food storage containers are the ideal option, as they prevent air and moisture from seeping in and causing the wrap to become soggy or stale. Reusable food containers are also a great choice, as they are eco-friendly and can be used again and again to store wraps and other types of food.
The best way to make sure your pinwheel sandwiches do not get soggy is to create a barrier between any wet ingredients in the sandwiches and the tortilla.
