HOW TO MAKE CHEDDAR BACON RANCH PINWHEELS:

1. Mix the cream cheese, sour cream, and ranch seasoning in a small bowl with an electric hand mixer until smooth. 
2. Fold in the cheddar cheese, bell peppers, bacon, and scallions until combined.
3. Layout the tortillas on a clean work surface and spread a thin layer over the tortilla, leaving a ½ inch border all around.
4. Tightly roll the tortilla into a log and wrap it in plastic wrap tightly. Repeat with the remaining tortillas. Set in the fridge for at least 6 hours or best overnight. Cut into ½ inch slices and serve. Serve with ranch dressing for dipping, optional.

HOW LONG SHOULD THESE BE CHILLED?

For best results on texture and them holding together, we like to chill them for at least 6 hours, if not overnight. That is what makes them a great make-ahead appetizer.

CAN I USE ANOTHER TYPE OF CHEESE?

While we absolutely prefer cheddar with this recipe, other cheese will work and still taste great. Some of our other favorites include:

1. White cheddar
2. Monterey Jack
3. Pepper Jack
4. Mozzarella 

CAN I USE ANY OTHER VEGETABLES IN THESE PINWHEELS?

Absolutely, if you want to give these even more flavor you can add to them. Some of our favorite additions include: chopped celery, chopped green, yellow or orange bell peppers, jalapeños, or fresh spinach.

HOW TO STORE:

These can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container where they will keep for up to 3 days, any longer you run the risk of them becoming soggy.

We do not recommend freezing these pinwheels.

TIPS AND TRICKS:

• Make sure you use burrito-size tortillas, they are 10-inches.
• These need to chill for at least 6 hours.
• Other vegetables can be added, see above on how to do that.
• Use any of your favorite bacon for this recipe.
• You can make your own homemade dried ranch dressing instead of store bought.
• The cheese can be switched up as well, see some of our other favorites above.
• Easily double this recipe to make more.
