You can definitely use homemade ranch seasoning for this recipe. It calls for dry ranch mix but you can use whatever you have on hand. If you’ve made this Homemade Ranch Seasoning Mix or something similar go ahead and use it for this recipe!

Another great thing about this recipe for veggie pinwheels with cream cheese is that you can make them pretty quickly. They should sit a bit to firm up before you slice them but other than that they’re good to go as soon as you are done preparing them!

What else do I need to make cream cheese and ranch pinwheels?

As usual you can find the full ingredients list, amounts, step by step guide, nutritional estimates, and helpful shopping links in the printable recipe card at the bottom of the post. Here’s a guide to help while you are shopping or getting your weekly grocery list together:

• Flour tortillas
• Cream cheese, softened
• Sour cream
• Packet dry ranch seasoning, or homemade ranch seasoning
• Shredded carrots
• Finely chopped broccoli
• Finely chopped mushrooms
• Finely chopped red bell pepper

Feel free to adjust the veggies to your liking. These work well for us but if you prefer other items you can add them and swap them out to make these work for your family.

Other choices I’d consider are cucumbers, black olives, different varieties of peppers, even tomatoes would be good if you dried them a bit (or use sun-dried tomatoes) to keep everything from getting mushy!

Add cream cheese to a medium bowl, and smooth it out with a fork. Add sour cream and ranch seasoning to the bowl and stir together, until it is all fully mixed.

Start at one end, and tightly roll the tortilla. 

Refrigerate for 1-2 hours.

Remove from the refrigerator, and cut of the ends of each tortilla, then cut the rest into 1 inch slices.
