Ingredients
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
- 6 oz (170g) smoked salmon, thinly sliced
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: In a bowl, soften the cream cheese until smooth and spreadable. You can whip it slightly to make spreading easier.
- Spread the Cream Cheese: Lay out each tortilla flat on a clean surface. Evenly spread a generous layer of cream cheese over the entire surface of each tortilla, ensuring full coverage to hold the salmon in place.
- Add the Smoked Salmon: Place slices of smoked salmon evenly over the cream cheese layer on each tortilla, covering the entire surface for balanced flavor in every bite.
- Roll the Tortillas: Starting from one edge, tightly roll each tortilla into a log shape to keep the filling secure inside.
- Slice into Pinwheels: Using a sharp knife, slice each rolled tortilla into approximately 1-inch thick pinwheels. Arrange them on a serving platter with the spiral pattern visible.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add fresh dill or capers to the cream cheese before spreading.
- Keep the cream cheese well chilled before spreading to make handling easier.
- Use a serrated knife to slice the pinwheels cleanly without squishing them.
- These pinwheels are best served fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours.
