Description
These BLT Pinwheels are a fresh, flavorful twist on the classic sandwich! Soft flour tortillas are spread with creamy avocado-cream cheese, layered with crisp lettuce, juicy tomatoes, and savory bacon, then sliced into bite-sized pinwheels. Perfect for a quick appetizer, lunch, or party snack.
Ingredients
3 large flour tortillas
4 oz cream cheese - softened
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 ripe avocado
Juice of 1/2 lime
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
4 slices cooked bacon - crumbled
1 large tomato - thinly sliced
3 to 4 fresh leafy lettuce leaves
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, mix the softened cream cheese and mayonnaise until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, mash the avocado. Add it to the mixing bowl along with lime juice, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread a generous layer of the avocado-cream cheese mixture over the entire surface.
- Sprinkle crumbled bacon evenly over the spread. Add a layer of lettuce, followed by tomato slices.
- Roll the tortilla up tightly. Repeat with remaining tortillas. Place the rolled tortillas in the freezer for 15 minutes to firm up – this helps with slicing.
- Remove from the freezer and slice into ½- to 1-inch pinwheels using a sharp knife. Wipe the blade clean between cuts for neat slices.
- Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to enjoy.
Notes
I don’t recommend storing leftover. These pinwheels are best served on the same day since the lettuce will wilt over time.
