Cucumber And Dill Pinwheels (Printable Version)

Cooled cream cheese, dill and cucumber rolled in tortillas and sliced into vibrant pinwheels for easy party bites.

# What You’ll Need:

→ Vegetables

01 - 1 large English cucumber, thinly sliced
02 - 2 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped

→ Dairy

03 - 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
04 - 1/4 cup Greek yogurt or sour cream

→ Condiments & Seasonings

05 - 1 teaspoon lemon juice
06 - 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
07 - Salt, to taste
08 - Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

→ Bread

09 - 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch)

# Directions:

01 - In a mixing bowl, blend softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt or sour cream, lemon juice, garlic powder, chopped dill, salt, and black pepper until smooth and fully combined.
02 - Arrange the tortillas on a clean work surface. Evenly distribute the dill cream cheese mixture over each tortilla, spreading to the edges with a spatula or spoon.
03 - Place cucumber slices in a single, uniform layer across the cream cheese-covered tortillas.
04 - Beginning at one edge, roll each tortilla firmly into a tight log, ensuring evenness throughout.
05 - Wrap each rolled tortilla in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set for easier slicing.
06 - Unwrap and cut each rolled tortilla into 6 pinwheels with a sharp knife, trimming any uneven edges as necessary.
07 - Arrange the pinwheels attractively on a serving platter. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

# Top Tips:

01 -
  • Your guests will think you spent ages, but these come together before you even miss the morning news.
  • They’re crisp and creamy all at once, the sort of bite-sized thing people keep circling back for.
02 -
  • Don’t let your cream cheese stay cold; I once tried and ended up tearing my tortillas to shreds.
  • Using a serrated knife meant I finally got pretty, round slices instead of pinched, squashed ones.
03 -
  • Patting the cucumber slices dry keeps pinwheels from going soggy on the tray.
  • Letting the cream cheese come all the way to room temp saves you from torn tortillas every time.
