Appetizer Pinwheels

This recipe came from Jane, the case manager at St. V's. They are such a hit at parties and pitch-ins!


Appetizer Pinwheels
----------------------
2 (8oz) pkg. cream cheese, softened
1 small can chopped green chilis
1 small can diced/chopped black olives
1 bunch green onions, chopped (use green portion only)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
6-8 white flour tortillas

With a spoon or mixer on low speed, mix cream cheese, can of chilis (undrained), can of olives (undrained), and green onions until thoroughly combined. Stir in shredded cheese. Put approximately ¼ cup of cream cheese mixture into center of a tortilla. Spread to within ½ in. of the edge of the tortilla. Roll up tortilla. Repeat until all cream cheese mixture is used. Refrigerate at least 4 hours to set. Once chilled, cut tortillas into width-wise slices about ½ in. thick. There will be end pieces to each tortilla that doesn’t have mixture inside, just dispose of them. Arrange pinwheels on a platter to serve. Store in the refrigerator. Makes approximately 40 pinwheels.
