Ingredients
- 6 large flour tortillas
- 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
- 6 oz (170g) smoked salmon slices
Instructions
- Prepare the spread: Take the softened cream cheese and mix it well to ensure it is smooth and easy to spread.
- Spread cream cheese on tortillas: Evenly spread a generous layer of cream cheese over each tortilla, covering the entire surface to the edges.
- Add smoked salmon layer: Lay smoked salmon slices evenly over the cream cheese on each tortilla, making sure to cover the spread for full flavor.
- Roll the tortillas: Starting at one edge, tightly roll up each tortilla to form a log shape, ensuring the filling stays secure inside.
- Slice into pinwheels: Using a sharp knife, slice each rolled tortilla into approximately 1-inch thick pinwheels for easy serving and bite-size portions.
- Serve: Arrange the pinwheels on a serving platter and serve immediately, or chill briefly for a cooler appetizer.
Notes
- Use softened cream cheese for easy spreading.
- Optional: add fresh dill or chives to the cream cheese for extra flavor.
- You can substitute flour tortillas with spinach or tomato-flavored tortillas for variation.
- Chilling pinwheels for 15-20 minutes before slicing helps maintain shape.
- Serve with capers or lemon wedges for garnish if desired.
