These Beef Bacon Cheddar Ranch Pinwheels are a crowd-pleasing snack with creamy ranch, beef bacon, and cheddar rolled into soft tortillas!

  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 30 pinwheels 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
  • 3/4 cup cooked beef bacon chopped (about 5–6 slices)
  • 1/2 package Hidden Valley Ranch Mix
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh dill chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh flat leaf parsley chopped
  • pepper to taste
  • 5 each (10-inch) flour tortillas

Instructions

  1. Mix the filling: In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, cheddar cheese, chopped beef bacon, ranch mix, dill, and parsley. If you have an electric mixer, use the low setting to blend everything until smooth. (I once forgot to soften the cream cheese properly, and believe me, it was a workout trying to mix it by hand! Save yourself the trouble and let it soften on the counter for about 30 minutes.)
  2. Season to taste: Once the mixture is smooth, give it a quick taste. Need a bit more pepper? A sprinkle of salt? Adjust to your liking.
  3. Spread and roll: Divide the cream cheese mixture evenly among the tortillas. Spread it out smoothly, getting all the way to the edges. Then, roll each tortilla up tightly. (This is where the magic happens—you want that nice, snug roll so each slice looks picture-perfect.)
  4. Chill time: Place the rolled tortillas on a plate and wrap them in plastic wrap. Pop them in the fridge for a few hours to let everything set. This makes slicing much easier later. (I’ve rushed this step before, and trust me, it’s worth waiting—it keeps the rolls intact and pretty!)
  5. Slice and serve: When you’re ready to serve, unwrap the tortillas, trim the ends (they’re the chef’s snack!), and cut the rolls into 1-inch slices. Arrange them on a platter, and sprinkle with some extra herbs for a fresh touch.

Notes

If you end up with leftovers (which, honestly, rarely happens), these pinwheels store well in the fridge for up to two days. Just keep them wrapped tightly in plastic wrap or in an airtight container. If the tortillas get a little soft, pop them in the fridge uncovered for about 30 minutes before serving again.

As for reheating? You don’t need to! These pinwheels are meant to be served cold or at room temperature, making them a great make-ahead dish.
