Grandma’s Cream Cheese & Ham Pinwheels are soft flour tortillas rolled with a creamy ranch cheese spread, colorful veggies, and layers of thin-sliced ham, then chilled and sliced into bite-sized spirals. They’re easy, make-ahead cold appetizers that work just as well for game days and potlucks as they do for lunchboxes and holiday snack tables.
Why you’ll love these pinwheels
These pinwheels use a seasoned cream cheese base similar to popular ranch roll-ups, then add ham, cheddar, green onion, and crunchy veggies for flavor and texture in every bite. Because everything is wrapped in tortillas and chilled, they’re ideal for prepping hours in advance—just slice and serve when guests arrive.
The recipe is flexible, kid-friendly, and endlessly customizable: swap meats, cheeses, or mix-ins based on what’s in your fridge, the way many tortilla pinwheel collections recommend.
