🍽️ The Recipe: H&T High Roller Pinwheels

 

This recipe makes about 20-24 pinwheels.

 

Prep Time: 20 minutes

 

 

Chill Time: 1-4 hours (essential!)

 

 

Total Time: 1 hour 20 minutes

 

 

Ingredients

 

 

For the Cream Cheese Spread (The "Glue")

 

  • 8 oz (1 block) Cream Cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese (sharp or mild, your choice)
  • 1/2 cup Bacon, cooked and crumbled (or bacon bits)
  • 1/4 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon Onion Powder
  • Salt and Freshly Ground Black Pepper to taste

 

For the Rolls

 

  • 4-5 Large Burrito-Size Flour Tortillas (10-inch)
  • 1 lb Shaved or Thinly Sliced Deli Ham
  • 1 lb Shaved or Thinly Sliced Deli Turkey Breast
  • 2 cups Shredded Iceberg Lettuce (or thinly sliced baby spinach)

 

Instructions

 

 

Step 1: Make the Cream Cheese Base

 

  1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, cooked bacon, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. Use a spoon or an electric mixer (on low) to mix everything until it is smooth and well-combined. Make sure there are no large lumps of cream cheese left.

 

Step 2: Assemble the Rollers

 

  1. Lay a large flour tortilla flat on your work surface.
  2. Spread about 1/4 to 1/3 cup of the cream cheese mixture evenly over the entire surface of the tortilla, going all the way to the edges. The cream cheese acts as the "glue," so don't skip the edges!
  3. Layer the sliced meats: Place a generous, even layer of ham over the cream cheese, followed by an even layer of turkey. Tip: Ask the deli counter for "shaved" or "paper-thin" meat—it rolls better and prevents the pinwheels from falling apart.
  4. Place a line of shredded lettuce along the edge of the tortilla closest to you. The lettuce should not cover the entire surface, but be positioned where you will begin rolling.

 

Step 3: Roll and Chill

 

  1. Starting from the edge with the lettuce, roll the tortilla up as tightly as possible. A tight roll is key for perfect pinwheels!
  2. Once rolled, wrap the log tightly in plastic wrap. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
  3. Place all the wrapped rolls in the refrigerator and chill for a minimum of 1 hour, but 4 hours or even overnight is best. This firming-up period allows the cream cheese to harden and the flavors to meld, ensuring clean, beautiful slices.

 

Step 4: Slice and Serve

 

  1. When ready to serve, unwrap the chilled tortilla rolls.
  2. Using a sharp knife, carefully trim off the ends (the parts with the least filling—chef's snack!).
  3. Slice each roll into pinwheels approximately 1/2 to 3/4-inch thick.
  4. Arrange the pinwheels cut-side up on a platter and serve immediately.

 

đź’ˇ Pro Tips for Perfect Pinwheels

 

  • Soften the Cream Cheese: Ensure your cream cheese is truly at room temperature. This makes for a smooth spreadable mixture that won't tear your tortillas.
  • The Tighter, the Better: Roll the tortillas as tightly as you can. A loose roll will unravel or separate when sliced.
  • Chill is Crucial: Do not skip the chilling time! It is the secret to pinwheels that hold their shape.
  • Don't Overstuff: While it's tempting to add tons of fillings, an overstuffed pinwheel is difficult to roll and will be messy to slice. Stick to thin layers.

 

Variations: Make Them Your Own!

 

The beauty of the High Roller is its versatility! Try these easy swaps:

Variation Swap the Filling
Spicy High Roller Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or hot sauce to the cream cheese spread, and use Pepper Jack cheese.
Italian Style Use Salami and Pepperoni instead of ham and turkey, and add a sprinkle of Italian seasoning to the cream cheese.
Roast Beef & Horseradish Swap ham/turkey for roast beef. Add a teaspoon of prepared horseradish to the cream cheese spread.
Veggie Power Omit the meat. Add chopped bell peppers, grated carrot, and use a Spinach wrap.

These H&T High Rollers are guaranteed to be the first appetizer to disappear from the tray. They are easy, flavorful, and a perfect no-fuss solution for any gathering!
