Ingredients

  • 1 8 ounce package cream cheese
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ½ cup salsa (use a chunkier salsa, for texture - I used Pace)
  • 2 tablespoons Hidden Valley Ranch seasoning
  • 2 teaspoons taco seasoning
  • 1 ½ cups cheddar cheese (shredded, divided)
  • 15-20 large black olives (roughly chopped)
  • 4 large tortillas

Instructions

  • Soften cream cheese. Beat cream cheese, sour cream, and ranch and taco seasonings together with an electric mixer.
    1 8 ounce package cream cheese, ½ cup sour cream, 2 tablespoons Hidden Valley Ranch seasoning, 2 teaspoons taco seasoning
  • Add salsa, ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese, and black olives. Stir until just combined.
    ½ cup salsa , 1 ½ cups cheddar cheese, 15-20 large black olives
  • Lay out a tortilla and spread the delicious mixture in a thin layer, leaving about a half-inch of the tortilla un-slathered around the edges (to prevent it from squishing out when rolling).
    4 large tortillas
  • Sprinkle a quarter of the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese on top. Roll the tortilla up, pressing firmly yet gently as you roll.
  • Wrap the rolled tortilla securely in plastic wrap to help it keep its shape. Repeat 3 more times, or until you've used up all the filling.
  • Refrigerate for at least 4-5 hours (or until firm) before cutting into approximately ½ inch pinwheels.
  • Sample the ends. Serve the pretty ones.

Notes

Lay out a piece of plastic wrap underneath the tortilla before assembling it. After you roll the tortilla up all you have to do is wrap the plastic around it to secure it.
