Pesto Cream Cheese Pinwheels

Prep Time10 minutes
Servings: 24 pinwheels
Author: Lisa Longley

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces cream cheese room temperature
  • 1/2 cup pesto store-bought or homemade
  • 1/2 cup roasted red peppers diced (see note)
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese grated
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 4 tortillas 8 inch tortillas

Instructions

  • Blend the cream cheese until it is nice and creamy (and no longer a solid brick).
  • Blend in the remaining ingredients, except the tortilla shells.
  • Divide the mixture evenly among the tortilla shells.  Roll them tightly and then roll them in plastic wrap and tighten the ends.  Put them in the refrigerator for 4 hours or overnight.
  • After removing them from the refrigerator, remove the plastic wrap.  Slice the rolls evenly and serve!

Notes

I use roasted red peppers from the jar, and they work great, but you could definitely roast your own.
