Pesto Pinwheels

Here’s a fun appetizer that is great for celebrating St. Patrick’s Day! Pesto Pinwheels You can a few chopped roasted red peppers, chopped pimentos, or a handful of finely chopped sundried tomatoes to the cream cheese/pesto mixture. This is especially festive at Christmas!  A bit of cooked, chopped chicken and shredded Parmesan cheese is good in these too! 2 tablespoons of pesto 1 (8-ounce) package of cream cheese, softened 1 jar of roasted red peppers or pimentos 4-6 flour tortillas Combine pesto and cream cheese Spread about 3 or 4 tablespoons of pesto mixture on each tortilla. Roll up each tortilla into a tube shape. Wrap each roll individually with plastic wrap and refrigerate for an hour or two*.

Remove from fridge, slice and serve. These freeze really well. Slice and lay in a single layer on a parchment-lined
