Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 1 (8-oz) package cream cheese, room temperature
- 6 Tbsp pizza sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ tsp dried oregano
- ½ cup sliced pepperoni, chopped
Wrap
- 4 or 5 (10-inch) burrito-size flour tortillas
Instructions
- Prepare Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, pizza sauce, shredded mozzarella cheese, dried oregano, and chopped pepperoni until well mixed and smooth.
- Spread Mixture: Evenly spread about 2 tablespoons of the prepared cheese and pepperoni mixture onto the surface of each flour tortilla, making sure to cover the tortilla evenly.
- Roll Tortillas: Carefully roll each tortilla up tightly but gently to ensure it holds its shape and the filling stays inside.
- Chill and Slice: Place the rolled tortillas in the refrigerator and chill for about 30 minutes to allow the filling to firm up. After chilling, trim off the ends of each roll and slice into 1-inch pinwheels for serving.
Notes
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easy mixing.
- Chilling the rolls before slicing helps them cut cleanly and hold their shape.
- These pinwheels can be prepared a few hours ahead and kept refrigerated until serving.
- For a gluten-free option, substitute flour tortillas with gluten-free tortillas.
- Adding a sprinkle of red pepper flakes can give an extra kick to the filling.
