How to Make BLT Pinwheels
Step 1: Dice the tomatoes and chop the lettuce.
Step 2: Mix mayonnaise, softened cream cheese and ranch seasoning in a medium bowl.
Step 3: Add the bacon and mix well.
Step 4: Spread ¼ of the mayonnaise mixture on each tortilla. Leave just a little space around the edges.
Step 5: Sprinkle the lettuce and tomato on top of the cream cheese mixture.
Step 6: Roll up the tortilla, then wrap it in plastic wrap. Be sure to wrap tortilla rolls tightly so that they don’t fall apart when you cut them. Refrigerate for 2 hours.
Step 7: Remove from the refrigerator. Using a serrated knife, cut into 1-inch slices, and discard the ends.
Tips & Tricks
- You’ll want to dice the tomatoes and lettuce into small pieces, so they roll easily and
don’t fall apart once cut.
- Be sure to let the cream cheese come to room temperature before you start, or it won’t spread easily and may tear the tortillas.
- Try these BLT roll-ups with tomato or spinach tortillas next time. You can also add some creamy smashed avocado, crisp green onion, or tangy sundried tomatoes.
- Make a lighter version of these pinwheels by using turkey bacon or light mayonnaise instead of regular.
Wrap them in plastic wrap and place them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They should keep for up to 3 days in the fridge.
Wrap them in a paper towel first to soak up any moisture, then wrap in plastic wrap and place them in a storage container so they don’t get crushed. They’ll need to stay cold, so if you won’t be able to refrigerate them immediately, be sure to use an ice pack.
