Easy Tortilla Pinwheels

It's no secret I'm a football fan.  A good portion of my blog posts are tailgate-friendly recipes.  When I was invited to participate in the 4th Annual October is Tailgating Snacks Month, hosted by my pal Debi at Life Currents, I was super excited.  My Sooners are right in the midst of their conference play and my kitchen is in full football mode.  I decided to share a recipe that I've literally been making for 24 years.  I can't believe I haven't shared it with you before now.  It's incredibly simple to prepare and everyone loves it.  My mother-in-law shared this recipe with me when I first married Mr. Devilish Dish.  I cannot count the number of times I made these pinwheels for my husband and his Air Force pals.  In the past I've shared Cranberry Pinwheels for the holidays and even a Chicken Enchilada Version of pinwheels.  Fast forward a few years and it's still our family's favorite pinwheel recipe.  It's simple to create in a large batch, served up with your favorite salsa.  Ideal for Tailgating Snacks Month, or any month!
The easiest version with the most flavor!
The best time of year!
Only 4 ingredients!

Spread cream cheese mixture onto flour tortillas...

Roll up and wrap in plastic wrap to chill.

Slice and serve with your favorite salsa for dipping.

The only way to enjoy October #TailgatingSnacks

Easy Tortilla Pinwheels

1 package large flour tortillas
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 package green onions, chopped
garlic powder to taste


Soften cream cheese and stir in garlic powder to taste.  Add green onions.  Spread a layer of the mixture onto a flour tortilla and roll up tightly.  Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate several hours or overnight.  Remove plastic wrap and slice into pinwheels. Serve with your favorite salsa for dipping.

Prep Time:  Approximately 20 minutes     Cook Time: 0 needs to chill

*NOTE-this recipe is easily multiplied.  I usually double or triple for tailgating!
