Instructions:

Beat Cream Cheese and Sour Cream: In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sour cream together until smooth and well blended.
-
-
Add Remaining Ingredients: Stir in the Monterey Jack cheese, black olives, finely diced red onion, salt, and garlic powder until evenly distributed throughout the cream cheese mixture.
-
Refrigerate: Cover the mixture and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld together and the mixture to firm up slightly.
-
Prepare Black Beans: While the cream cheese mixture is chilling, process the black beans in a food processor until smooth. This will be used as a base layer for the tortilla pinwheels.
-
Assemble Pinwheels: Spread a thin layer of the processed black beans onto each flour tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.
-
Add Cream Cheese Mixture: Spread a layer of the cream cheese mixture evenly over the black beans on each tortilla.
-
Roll Up: Starting from one edge, tightly roll up each tortilla into a compact cylinder.
-
Chill: Wrap each rolled tortilla in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least an hour, or until firm.
-
Slice and Serve: Once chilled, remove the plastic wrap and slice the tortilla rolls into 3/4 inch thick pinwheels. Arrange them on a serving platter and serve with your favorite salsa for dipping.
