Cheddar Bacon Ranch Pinwheels (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Base Ingredients

01 - 4 large flour tortillas, room temperature
02 - 8 oz cream cheese, softened until spreadable
03 - 1 tbsp ranch seasoning mix (from the packet)
04 - 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, freshly shredded
05 - ½ cup bacon, cooked crispy and crumbled into bits

→ Optional Add-ins

06 - 2 green onions, finely chopped

# Instructions:

01 - In a medium bowl, mix the softened cream cheese and ranch seasoning with a fork until smooth and well combined. No lumps allowed!
02 - Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, and green onions (if using). Stir until everything is evenly distributed throughout the cream cheese mixture.
03 - Divide the creamy mixture evenly between the four tortillas. Spread it all the way to the edges using the back of a spoon or an offset spatula.
04 - Starting at one end, tightly roll each tortilla into a log shape. Press gently as you roll to ensure there are no air pockets.
05 - Wrap each log tightly in plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. This helps them firm up for clean slicing.
06 - Once chilled, unwrap the logs and use a sharp knife to cut each one into ¾-inch thick pinwheels. Arrange on a serving platter and enjoy!

# Notes:

01 - These pinwheels can be made up to 24 hours in advance - perfect for party prep!
02 - For best results, use block cheese that you shred yourself rather than pre-shredded cheese.
03 - Keep refrigerated until ready to serve for the best texture and flavor.
