Ingredients
  

4 large flour tortillas (choose spinach or whole wheat for added flavor)

8 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 cup baby spinach, finely chopped

1/2 cup bell peppers, finely diced (use a mix of colors for visual appeal)

1/2 cup cucumber, finely diced

1/2 cup shredded carrots

1/4 cup green onions, finely chopped

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp dried oregano

Salt and ground black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Make the Cream Cheese Spread: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, dried oregano, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Use a spatula or mixer to blend until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

    Prepare the Tortilla: Place a tortilla on a clean, flat surface or cutting board. Using a spatula, spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture over the tortilla, ensuring you cover it evenly all the way to the edges.

      Add the Vegetables: Evenly distribute the chopped spinach, diced bell peppers, diced cucumber, shredded carrots, and chopped green onions over the cream cheese layer. Make sure to give it a colorful and attractive look.

        Roll the Tortilla: Starting from one edge, carefully roll the tortilla tightly into a log shape. Ensure it's rolled evenly, but avoid squeezing too tight to maintain the filling inside.

          Slice into Pinwheels: Using a sharp knife, slice the log into 1-inch thick pinwheels. You should achieve approximately 10-12 pinwheels per tortilla, depending on how tightly they are rolled.

            Serving Options: Arrange the pinwheels artistically on a serving platter. You can serve them right away, or if you prefer to prepare them in advance, cover the platter with plastic wrap and refrigerate until serving. These pinwheels are delicious served chilled or at room temperature.

                Presentation Tips: Garnish the platter with a sprinkle of sesame seeds or a few fresh herbs for an eye-catching finish. Consider pairing with a side of your favorite dipping sauce for added flavor!
