# What You Need:
→ Base
01 - 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch diameter)
→ Creamy Filling
02 - 8 oz cream cheese, softened
03 - 1/4 cup sour cream
04 - 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
05 - 1/4 cup finely chopped red bell pepper
06 - 1/4 cup finely chopped green onions
07 - 1/4 cup finely chopped black olives
08 - 1/4 tsp garlic powder
09 - 1/4 tsp salt
10 - 1/4 tsp black pepper
# How To Make:
01 - Combine cream cheese and sour cream in a medium bowl. Beat until completely smooth and creamy.
02 - Add cheddar cheese, red bell pepper, green onions, black olives, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
03 - Place a tortilla on a clean work surface. Spread one-quarter of the filling mixture evenly across the entire surface, extending to the edges.
04 - Roll the tortilla tightly from one end to the other, creating a compact cylinder. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
05 - Wrap each rolled tortilla individually in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up for clean slicing.
06 - Remove plastic wrap and slice each roll into 6 equal pinwheels. Arrange on a serving platter and serve immediately.
