Cucumber And Dill Pinwheels (Printable)
Crisp cucumber, dill cream cheese and tortillas rolled into chilled pinwheels—ideal for parties, lunch, or light snacks.
# What You'll Need:
→ Vegetables
01 - 1 large English cucumber, thinly sliced
02 - 2 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped
→ Dairy
03 - 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
04 - 1/4 cup Greek yogurt or sour cream
→ Condiments & Seasonings
05 - 1 teaspoon lemon juice
06 - 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
07 - Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
→ Bread
08 - 4 large flour tortillas
# Directions:
01 - Combine softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt or sour cream, lemon juice, garlic powder, chopped dill, salt, and black pepper in a mixing bowl. Stir until the mixture becomes smooth and uniform.
02 - Lay out the flour tortillas on a clean surface. Evenly spread the prepared dill cream cheese mixture over each tortilla, ensuring it reaches the edges.
03 - Arrange the thinly sliced cucumber in a single even layer over the cream cheese mixture on each tortilla.
04 - Starting from one edge, tightly roll up each tortilla to form a compact log.
05 - Wrap each rolled tortilla in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the pinwheels to firm up for easier slicing. This step is optional but recommended.
06 - Unwrap the chilled tortilla logs and use a sharp knife to slice each roll into 6 equal pinwheels. Reserve the uneven ends for snacking or discard.
07 - Arrange sliced pinwheels on a serving platter. Serve chilled or at room temperature as desired.
# Cooking Tips:
01 -
- It's the easiest way to impress guests with almost no time in the kitchen—just spread, roll, and slice.
- That creamy, herby filling wrapped with crisp cucumber makes these disappear at any potluck or picnic.
02 -
- Trying to slice too soon makes everything squish—give those rolls a quick chill if you have the time.
- Stacking cucumbers too thick can make the rolls burst open, so thin, even slices work wonders.
03 -
- Room temperature cream cheese blends beautifully and guarantees a smooth spread.
- Letting the assembled rolls chill before slicing makes picture-perfect pinwheels every time.
