Instructions:

Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, diced green chilies, garlic salt, and 2 tablespoons of picante sauce. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
-
Spread on Tortillas: Lay out the flour tortillas on a clean, flat surface. Spread an even layer of the cream cheese mixture onto each tortilla, ensuring to cover the entire surface.
-
Roll Up: Roll each tortilla tightly, similar to rolling a jelly roll, to encase the filling completely. Roll them up snugly to prevent any filling from spilling out.
-
Wrap and Chill: Once rolled, wrap each tortilla roll individually in plastic wrap. This helps to maintain their shape and keeps them from drying out. Place them in the refrigerator and allow them to chill for at least 30 minutes or until firm.
-
Slice and Serve: When ready to serve, unwrap the chilled tortilla rolls and slice them into 1/2-inch pieces using a sharp knife. Arrange the pinwheels on a serving platter.
-
Serve with Dip: Serve the Green Chile Tortilla Pinwheels with additional picante sauce on the side for dipping. The tangy flavor of the sauce complements the creamy filling perfectly.
These Green Chile Tortilla Pinwheels are not only quick and easy to prepare but also incredibly delicious. Their mild heat from the green chilies adds a flavorful kick without overwhelming spice, making them suitable for a wide range of palates. Whether you’re hosting a party or attending a potluck, these pinwheels are sure to be a hit among your guests. Enjoy! 🌶️🌯
