Ingredients
  

For the Pinwheels
  • 1 large flour tortilla the perfect base for all that cheesy goodness
  • 4 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese melty and stretchy
  • 1 cup sliced pepperoni the star of the show
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese adds a nice salty kick
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning for a touch of herbaceous goodness
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder because garlic makes everything better

  1. Step 1: Lay the flour tortilla flat on a clean surface or cutting board.

  3. Step 3: Evenly spread the cheese mixture over the entire surface of the tortilla.
  4. Step 4: Layer the sliced pepperoni on top of the cheese mixture, covering it evenly.
  5. Step 5: Starting from one edge, carefully roll the tortilla tightly into a log shape. Make sure to keep it as tight as possible without squeezing out the filling.
