A friend gave me this recipe, and whenever I serve these tortilla pinwheel sandwiches, people ask me for the recipe, too! The cream cheese pinwheels can be made ahead of time and sliced just before serving, leaving you time for other last-minute party preparations. —Pat Waymire, Yellow Springs, Ohio

Appetizer Tortilla Pinwheels

(8 ounces) cream cheese, softened

cheddar cheese

sour cream

(4-1/4 ounces) chopped ripe olives

(4 ounces) chopped green chiles, well drained

green onions

Garlic powder

salt

flour tortillas (10 inches)

Salsa, optional

I’ve made these for years.  The only thing I do differently, is to cook up some bacon and then chop it up and add it to the mixture.  Super yummy!

(Note to Editor: I submitted this review the other day and the end was cut off. If you can't use the brand name Wheat Thins, can you at least change it to "wheat crackers", instead of just cutting it off?) I have made these for years, but I don't use chilies or seasoning. I also discovered that just the filling makes a delicious dip! I serve it with Sundried Tomato wheat crackers.

I made 10doz of these for our new years eve party, set them down on the table to go find the hostess. When I came back there were only a few left! My entire family gives this recipe 5 stars!

These are fabulous! I also made a version with smoked salmon and added Mexican taco spices.  Fantastic, thanks so much Pat Waymire!

Everybody absolutely love them at the last party we had.

Taste so yummy easy to make and everyone loves them. I serve with sides of salsa and guacamole

I've been making these for years. In fact, if i dont have them, everyone asks for them!

I love these and make them often. I add Buddig beef that comes in a bag and sometimes add bacon. Hard to go wrong with these no matter what you add!??

These are great! I've also made them with crm chs, ham and diced pickles (dill or sweet). Another version - crm chs, chipotle raspberry sauce and diced chicken. So many variations and so easy!

I had a very similar recipe which I lost in one of my last three moves.  This is wonderful!  Be sure to drain the green chilies and olives!  This recipe makes a lot of filling - I used 8 10" tortillas but may not have used as much of the filling as I should have.  HOWEVER, the extra won't go to waste - it's scrumptious on bagels!

Really enjoyed the taste and the ease of making.  Only problem I had was after a few hours and especially the next day the tortillas went soft like uncooked dough.

I made these for a baby shower and they were amazing. They didn't last long because everyone loved them. I will definately make these again and again. Rauten

Made these for a party and they were a hit! I put ham in half and just this filling in the other half.

This is a favorite for all kinds of gatherings.  I also recommend the Taste of Home recipe for "Cranberry Feta Pinwheels".  Tasty and festive.

We made the pinwheels for New Year's Eve.  The tortillas were soggy and no one seemed to like them.  The inside filling was good.  Wish I had thought to scrape off the tortillas and use the filling on crackers.  They went in the garbage.   Did anyone else have this problem?

I used the green healthy tortillas for a Christmas appetizer, they were festive and yummuy!  Used green olives and extra pimentos, made them the day before, unwrapped and sliced.  Super easy and gone in a flash.
