Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese until it's smooth and easy to spread. You can add a pinch of salt or herbs like dill or parsley if you wish for extra flavor.
- Lay one tortilla flat on a clean surface or cutting board.
- Spread half of the cream cheese evenly over the tortilla, leaving about half an inch from the edges.
- Evenly distribute half of each vegetable and the chicken breast over the cream cheese layer. Start with the red peppers, followed by carrots, then yellow or green peppers, spinach, red cabbage, and finally the chicken.
- Starting from one end, tightly roll up the tortilla. Make sure to roll it as tightly as possible to keep all the ingredients intact.
- Repeat the process with the second tortilla and the remaining ingredients.
- For easier slicing, you can wrap the rolls in plastic wrap and chill them in the refrigerator for about 15-30 minutes.
- Using a sharp knife, carefully slice each rolled tortilla into approximately 1-inch thick pinwheels.
- Arrange the pinwheels on a platter, showcasing the vibrant, colorful layers.
- Serve immediately as a fun and nutritious appetizer, snack, or light meal.
Tips:
- For a vegetarian option, omit the chicken and add extra vegetables of your choice.
- Soften the cream cheese to make it easier to spread.
- Use a sharp knife to make clean cuts when slicing the pinwheels.
- To enhance the flavors, you can add a sprinkle of your favorite herbs or spices to the cream cheese.
- Refrigerate the rolled tortillas for about 15-20 minutes before slicing to make them easier to cut.
