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
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper just a pinch for some warmth
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Equipment

  • Medium bowl
  • Sharp knife
  • Serving Platter

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Lay the flour tortilla flat on a clean surface or cutting board.
  2. Step 2: In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
  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.
  6. Step 6: Using a sharp knife, slice the rolled tortilla into 1-inch thick pinwheels.
  7. Step 7: Arrange the pinwheels on a serving platter and garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Enjoy immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
