Ingredients

  • 4 large (10-inch) spinach tortillas
  • 2 packages (8 ounces each) plain cream cheese, softened
  • 1 package ranch dressing mix (0.4 ounce)
  • 1/2 cup red pepper, minced
  • 1/2 cup green onions, minced
  • 5-8 cherry tomatoes, fresh herbs and a piece of yellow pepper or cheese for the star.

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine cream cheese and ranch mix. Stir until combined. Add red pepper and onions and combined.

  2. Spread 1/4 of the mixture onto one tortilla. Roll the tortilla. Do this with all four tortillas.

  3. Gently cut into 1/2 inch slices. You can also wrap the tortillas in plastic wrap and let them chill for an hour before cutting for rounded sections.

  4. Arrange pinwheel slices in a tree shape. Two for the trunk. Then I did 5 for the bottom of the tree, then 4, then 3, then 2 and then 1. But you can make your tree as wide as you want. I did have a few slices left over.

  5. Add fresh rosemary or other herbs in between the slices and cherry tomatoes to look like ornaments. Cut a star shape out of a piece of cheese or a yellow pepper.

  6. Serve! Or cover the tree with plastic wrap and pop it into the fridge to serve later.
