Holiday Pinwheels (with Red & Green Pepper)
Report
These Christmas pinwheels are festive AF! Not to forget to mention tasty and easy to prepareš. Opting for green tortillas and tinting the cream cheese a lovely red thanks to roasted red peppers makes this a lovely holiday-themed appetizer.

Instructions
- Add cream cheese, roasted red peppers, vegetable dip mix, and a few drops of red food coloring (optional) to a food processor. Process until combined, 15-20 seconds. Remove lid, scrape down sides, and process again if necessary to completely combine all of the ingredients.
- Add a few drops of red food coloring (optional) and process for 5-10 seconds.
- Lay out a tortilla and spread the delicious mixture in a thin layer, leaving about a half-inch of the tortilla un-slathered around the edges (to prevent it from squishing out when rolling).
- Add several thin strips of bell pepper on top of the shredded cheddar cheese.Ā
- Roll the tortilla up, pressing firmly yet gently as you roll.
- Wrap the rolled tortilla securely in plastic wrap to help it keep its shape. Repeat 3 more times, or until you've used up all the filling.
- Refrigerate for at least 4-5 hours (or until firm) before cutting into approximately Ā½ inch pinwheels.
- Sample the ends. Serve the pretty ones.

Notes
- Divide the pepper strips into 4 even bundles. Also, add the cream cheese mixture to a rectangular container and divide it into 4 even portions. Doing this will ensure that all of your pinwheel rolls will contain the same amount of ingredients. I admittedly like to be heavy-handed with the cream cheese filling; you could also stretch this recipe by using 5 spinach wraps and dividing the ingredients into 5 even portions.

- Lay out a piece of plastic wrap underneath the tortilla before assembling it. After you roll the tortilla up all you have to do is wrap the plastic around it to secure it.
