Ingredients
Cream Cheese Spread
- 2 oz cream cheese softened
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp dried oregano
- ⅓ cup fresh dill chopped
- salt and black pepper to taste
Pinwheels
- 2 large flour tortillas burrito size
- Cream Cheese Spread listed above
- 2 cups romaine lettuce finely shredded
- 2 Roma tomatoes very thinly sliced
- 4 oz ham thinly sliced
Instructions
- In a small bowl, stir together the softened cream cheese, olive oil, oregano, chopped fresh dill, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.
- Lay both tortillas flat on a clean work surface. Divide the Italian cream cheese spread evenly between the tortillas and spread it all the way to the edges.
- Sprinkle the shredded romaine evenly over both tortillas. Arrange the thin tomato slices in a single layer over the lettuce.
- Layer the ham evenly over the tomatoes.
- Starting at one edge, roll each tortilla up as tightly as possible into a log. Insert toothpicks about every inch to help hold the roll together. Using a sharp serrated knife, slice between the toothpicks into 1-inch pinwheels.
- Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
