Easy Frugal Recipe: Christmas Party Pinwheels

by cindy on December 17, 2011

I wanted to share one of my favorite Holiday Appetizers. It is super easy to make and also very cheap if you but the ingredients while they are on sale. I spent less than $5 making the whole tray! :)

  • 2 pkgs (8 oz each) cream cheese
  • 1 pkg (.4 oz) ranch salad dressing mix
  • 1/2 cup minced sweet red pepper
  • 1/2 cup minced celery
  • 1/4 cup minced green onions
  • 3 or 4  10″ flour tortillas

In a mixing bowl, blend cream cheese + dressing mix until smooth. Add red pepper, celery, and onions. Mix well. Spread about 3/4 cup on each flour tortilla. Roll up tightly. Wrap each tortilla in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Slice into 1/2″ pieces and serve.

*Tip: I purchased the red pepper, celery, and green onions from the salad bar. The vegetables were already chopped and I was able to get just the amount I needed. Sometimes it is cheaper to do this rather than to buy big bags of the vegetables if you have no other plans to use what is left.
