Ingredients
- 8 ounces (227g) cream cheese softened
- ½ cup (115g) mayonnaise
- 1 ounce (28g) Ranch dressing mix 1 store-bought packet
- 1 teaspoon dried dill or 1 tablespoon minced fresh dill
- 2 cups (500g) finely chopped vegetables I used red bell peppers, broccolini, cauliflower and carrots
- 1 cup (200g) grated cheddar cheese
- 8 corn tortillas 8-inch round
Instructions
- Combine cream cheese, mayonnaise, ranch dressing mix, and dill in a medium bowl until smooth.
- Then fold in the chopped vegetables and shredded cheese. Until combined.
- Split the filling into 8 portions (the exact same size) place on the 8 tortillas, and spread the filling out. It needs to be the same amount so the pinwheels are the same size.
- Roll up each tortilla, wrap tightly with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and even overnight.
- Unwrap each one and slice into about 1-1 ½ inch thick wheels before serving.

Notes
- Yield — You will end up with about 64 pieces (using 8 tortillas cut into about 8 pieces each). If you prefer thicker rounds, then you will end up with fewer pieces.
- Make sure the veggies are finely diced. I tend to grate the carrots for ease. They are easier to bite into, as well as easier to wrap, cut and look a uniform size.
- Don't overfill these as they will be hard to roll up or hold their shape, and you will end up with filling all over the place when you try and cut them.
- Other veggies you can add include olives, sweet corn, cabbage, green onions, green beans, radishes, zucchini, etc. Avoid watery veggies like tomatoes, as they can become soggy. If you like things spicy, add some jalapenos.
- Feel free to add in extra cheeses like Pepper Jack, Cotija, and Monterey Jack.
- Feel free to use another spread like hummus, or sub some of the cream cheese for sour cream in these vegetarian pinwheels.
- You could easily add some shredded chicken, ham, salami, etc. if you prefer. Not that these need it.
- Storage - keep the uncut roll ups in plastic wrap inside the fridge for up to 1 day before slicing and serving.
- There are 4 WW Blue Plan SmartPoints in one serving.
