Mike's Green Chile Pinwheels step by step
- Warm Philadelphia Cream Cheese just enough to blend it with ease..
- Chop your fresh vegetables and gather your other items needed..
- Completely drain your roasted green chilies and black olives. Squeeze green chilies in cheese cloth or thick, quality paper towels to ensure there are no fluids remaining..
- Mix everything in the Pinwheel Mixture section well..
- Gather your large flour tortillas and place each on a sheet of cling wrap..
- Smear your cream cheese mixture on your tortillas [as thick or as thin as you'd like] leaving bare areas at the sides as pictured below. If you spread your mixture thinner - you should get 4 large tortillas filled. And at 1" cuts, you should get about 30 Green Chilie Pinwheels..
- Roll your filled tortilla up snugly and wrap in cling wrap tightly. Try to mold your tortilla into a round shape but try not to squeeze your mixture out of any end. You'll be trimming those ends off anyway..
- Place rolls in the fridge for 2.5 hours minimum. Longer if possible..
- Once fully chilled, trim the ends off and discard. Roll once more for roundness or, square-ness if you'd like. Using a sharp knife or even dental floss, cut your wheels into 1" thicknesses. Enjoy!.
