A quick and easy party snack featuring creamy herb-infused cream cheese and everything bagel seasoning rolled in soft tortillas. Perfect for potlucks, brunches, or last-minute gatherings.

Ingredients

  • Flour tortillas (8-inch size)
  • Cream cheese, softened (about 8 oz)
  • Everything bagel seasoning (store-bought or homemade blend of poppy seeds, sesame seeds, dried onion, garlic, and salt)
  • Fresh herbs (finely chopped chives or green onions)
  • Garlic powder (a pinch)
  • Lemon juice (a splash)
  • Smoked salmon or thinly sliced deli turkey (optional)
  • Cucumber slices (thinly sliced, optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Soften the cream cheese by leaving it at room temperature for about 15 minutes or microwave for 10 seconds carefully.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, chopped fresh herbs, garlic powder, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth and well blended.
  3. Lay one tortilla flat on a clean surface. If stiff, wrap in a damp paper towel and microwave for 10 seconds to soften.
  4. Spread about 2 tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture evenly over the tortilla, leaving a half-inch border around the edges.
  5. Add optional toppings like smoked salmon, deli turkey, or cucumber slices evenly over the cream cheese layer.
  6. Roll the tortilla tightly but gently from one edge to form a snug roll.
  7. Wrap the rolled tortilla tightly in plastic wrap or parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up the filling.
  8. Unwrap and slice the roll into 1-inch thick pinwheels using a sharp knife. Arrange on a platter and sprinkle extra everything bagel seasoning on top.

Notes

Softening the cream cheese properly is key to avoid tearing tortillas. Chill the rolled tortillas before slicing to help the pinwheels hold their shape. Pat cucumber slices dry to prevent sogginess. Prepare filling a day ahead for enhanced flavor. Avoid freezing as texture degrades.
