Instructions

Prepare the filling: In a medium bowl, mix the cream cheese, sour cream, and ranch seasoning until smooth and well combined. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, chopped green onions, and the optional cooked bacon. Season the mixture with salt and pepper as needed.
Spread the mixture: Lay the flour tortillas flat on a clean surface. Evenly spread a layer of the cream cheese mixture over each tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges to prevent overflow when rolling.
Roll and chill: Tightly roll each tortilla up into a log shape. Wrap each roll tightly in plastic wrap to keep its shape.
Refrigerate: Place the wrapped rolls in the refrigerator and chill for at least 1 hour to allow the filling to firm up and make slicing easier.
Slice and serve: Once chilled, unwrap the rolls and slice them into 1-inch thick pinwheels. Arrange the pinwheels on a platter and serve chilled or at room temperature.

Notes

Make these pinwheels up to 24 hours in advance and keep refrigerated until ready to serve for best flavor and freshness.
For a spicy twist, add diced jalapeños or substitute pepper jack cheese for cheddar.
Use low-carb or whole wheat tortillas for a healthier or lighter version.
If you omit bacon, this recipe is suitable for vegetarians.
