Description

These Cream Cheese Ranch Pinwheels with Ham & Veggies are easy and delicious party roll-ups that combine a creamy ranch-flavored filling with colorful vegetables and savory ham, rolled inside soft tortillas. Perfect for entertaining or a tasty snack, they require no cooking and can be made ahead for convenient serving.


Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 2 (8 oz) blocks cream cheese, room temperature
  • 1 packet dry ranch dip mix
  • 1/2 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1/4 cup chopped black olives
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions
  • 6–8 slices deli ham (Black Forest or your favorite), thinly sliced

Wraps

  • 6–8 flour or wheat tortillas (depending on size)


Instructions

  1. Make the Filling: In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and dry ranch dip mix, mixing until smooth and well blended. Then stir in the diced red bell pepper, chopped black olives, chopped green onions, and thinly sliced ham to create a flavorful and colorful filling.
  2. Assemble Wraps: Lay each tortilla flat and spread a generous, even layer of the cream cheese mixture over the entire surface. Roll each tortilla tightly, ensuring the filling stays evenly distributed within the wrap.
  3. Chill: Place the rolled tortillas seam-side down on a tray or plate and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. This chilling step allows the cream cheese to set, making the pinwheels easier to slice and hold their shape.
  4. Slice & Serve: After chilling, remove the rolled tortillas from the refrigerator and cut each roll into approximately 1-inch slices. Arrange the pinwheels on a serving platter and serve them cold as a flavorful appetizer or snack.

Notes

  • Use room temperature cream cheese for easier mixing and smoother texture.
  • Try substituting the ham with turkey or chicken for a different flavor.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables like shredded carrots or cucumbers for extra crunch.
  • These pinwheels can be prepared a day in advance and kept refrigerated until serving.
  • Use wheat tortillas for a healthier alternative.
