Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 large Tortillas Use whole wheat or spinach for added nutrition.
  • 8 oz Cream Cheese Softened and ready for spreading.
  • 1 cup Pumpkin Puree Adds earthy sweetness.
  • 1 tsp Cinnamon For warm aroma.
  • 1/4 tsp Nutmeg Essential in fall recipes.
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil Enhances flavor.
  • Veggies (like bell peppers and olives) Add color and crunch.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by mixing the softened cream cheese, pumpkin puree, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a bowl until creamy.
  2. Lay a tortilla flat on a clean countertop and spread the cream cheese mixture evenly across it.
  3. Lay out your thinly sliced bell peppers, olives, or other veggies in a row on the tortilla.
  4. Starting from one edge, tightly roll the tortilla up.
  5. Slice the rolled tortilla into pinwheel shapes, about an inch thick, and arrange them on a platter.

Notes

Make-ahead by wrapping tightly in plastic wrap for up to 2 days. Not ideal for freezing, but can be reheated in a skillet for a crispy texture.
