Ingredients
  

For the Tortilla
  • 4 large flour tortillas perfect for wrapping your filling tightly without tearing.
  • 8 oz cream cheese adds a creamy texture and helps bind the ingredients together.
For the Filling
  • 8 oz cooked bacon or ham provides a savory flavor that elevates these Breakfast Pinwheels.
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese melts beautifully and adds a sharp, tangy taste.
  • 2 cups fresh spinach or arugula brings a vibrant color and fresh crunch to each bite.
Optional Add-ins
  • 1 cup sliced bell peppers add a sweet crunch that complements the other flavors well.
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes offer juiciness and a pop of acidity that brightens up your pinwheels.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Prepare the Tortillas: Start by laying out your tortillas on a clean surface. Choose large, soft tortillas for easy rolling and maximum filling.
  2. Spread the Cream Cheese: Generously spread cream cheese over each tortilla, reaching all the way to the edges.
  3. Layer Ingredients: Evenly distribute your chosen fillings on top of the cream cheese.
  4. Roll Tightly: Carefully roll each tortilla from one end to the other, making sure to keep the filling snug inside.
  5. Chill for Flavor: Wrap each rolled tortilla in plastic wrap and chill them in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  6. Slice into Pinwheels: Remove the wraps and slice each roll into bite-sized pieces, about 1-inch thick.
