How to make these red pepper pinwheels

After softening the cream cheese, spread 1/4 of it on each of four tortillas.

Chop the spinach, then sprinkle evenly over each tortilla.

Drain the jarred roasted red peppers, then pat them dry with a paper towel. Chop into bite-sized pieces, then sprinkle onto tortillas.

Add 1/4 shredded cheese to each tortilla, spread evenly. Roll each tortilla up tightly and wrap in plastic wrap. Chill for 1-2 hours to make slicing easier.

After chilling, slice into 1-inch pieces and lay flat on a platter to serve.

Pinwheel storage tips:

You can make these roasted red pepper, spinach and cream cheese pinwheels up to 24 hours in advance and keep them in the fridge until your event.

To keep them from getting soggy, be sure to drain the jarred peppers very well AND pat them dry with a paper towel. If there’s too much moisture left, it will leak and make the tortillas soggy.

That’s another reason to wrap the rolled tortilla in plastic wrap, it prevents sogginess.

If you have any leftover pinwheel appetizers, store them in an airtight container but plan to eat them quickly. They will only last 2-3 days in the refrigerator.
