Tis’ the season not solely for soup, however now, for festive snack meals. This is one I made just lately, after years of forgetting about them.
| Tortilla Pinwheels |
I used to
make these as a vacation appetizer when my children had been little. They had been a lot requested for vacation household get-togethers. Once I stopped
shopping for cream cheese, I ended making them. At some point I discovered myself questioning what
to do with my abundance of ricotta cheese. which I exploit it to make gnocchi,
gelato,
biscuits, and
salad dressing (all of these hyperlinks will take you to the recipes!) As I mulled it over,
the pinwheels got here to thoughts; why could not I substitute ricotta for the cream
cheese? I might and I did, and it put this merchandise again on the menu. Straightforward and
tasty.
Tortilla Pinwheels
- Cream cheese or ricotta, softened (might additionally use chevre)
- Salsa or picante sauce
- Flour tortillas
Mix the ricotta (or cream cheese) and salsa to a spreadable consistency.
Unfold onto the tortillas and roll them up. Refrigerate in a single day. Earlier than
serving, slice into pinwheels and serve. A bowl of additional salsa on the facet can be utilized for dipping if desired.
I used to serve them with toothpicks for an appetizer or snack meals. They had been
at all times a success.
