About these pizza tortilla pinwheels

Lunchbox ready: Tortilla pinwheels like these or my southwestern cream cheese roll ups make a great lunchbox addition. The nice thing about them is that you can make them in advance and slice off what you need as you’re prepping lunches. And you can serve them with dipping sauces, and what kid doesn’t love that? I served these with pizza sauce which seems like an obvious choice.

Great for entertaining, too: If you’re like me, when you’re prepping for a party, you’re always looking for ways to prepare things in advance. These are better if you make them a day in advance and then all you have to do is slice and serve!

Versatile: You can make these vegetarian by omiting the pepperoni. They’ll still have loads of great pizza flavor, especially if you serve them with pizza sauce. You can add different pizza “toppings,” but you have to be careful they don’t have too high of a moisture content. Finely chopped vegetables will work well, as long as you don’t add too many. Cooked ham is a great choice too – deli sliced ham works best here.

Storage

These will keep for 2-3 days in the fridge. Any longer and the tortilla will likely become a little soggy.

Ingredients

• ▢ 1 package (8 ounce) package reduced fat cream cheese
• ▢ 1 teaspoon dried basil
• ▢ 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• ▢ 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• ▢ 1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
• ▢ 1/2 cup finely chopped sliced pepperoni

Instructions

• In a medium sized mixing bowl, mix together cream cheese, basil, oregano, garlic, mozzarella and pepperoni. Spread this mixture onto a tortilla all the way to the edges in an even layer (you’ll use about 1/2 cup for each tortilla). Tightly roll up tortilla with the filling on the inside. Wrap in plastic wrap. Repeat until all tortillas are filled and rolled.

• Serve with pizza sauce for dipping.
