    Recently I made smoked salmon pinwheels to use up some leftover salmon. The ingredient seemed pretty obvious to me: fresh dill, ranch dressing seasoning, scallions, and hot peppers. This was going to be good... Not surprisingly, the end result was incredible!

    Smoked Salmon Pinwheels Recipe

    Place cream cheese in a microwavable bowl, cover with a paper towel, and microwave for 30 seconds to soften. Mix in the ranch seasoning.

    Divide the cream cheese mixture into four portions. Spread ¼ of the mixture on each of the four tortillas.

    Roll each tortilla tightly, but not tight enough to squeeze the ingredients out of the tortilla.

    Repeat with the remaining tortillas.

    Recipe Expert Tips

    • Pinwheels are awesome for a last minuter snack, and the perfect dish to take to a gathering or a potluck. But what do you do if you don't have smoked salmon in the fridge? How about using shrimp, or even chicken. Or you can keep them vegetarian and skip the meat altogether!
    • Alternatives to cream cheese include goat cheese, shredded cheddar, or even laughing cow triangles.
    • There are also numerous vegetable options. Why not add black olives, diced cucumbers, chopped tomatoes, and chives?
    • A good way to get ideas is to pick a theme, for example, Italian. Then simply use ingredients that are usually found in Italian dishes like basil, black olives, artichoke hearts, and sun-dried tomatoes.

    Low Carb or Keto Pinwheels

    If you are following a low-carb or Keto diet, there's no reason not to enjoy these tasty pinwheels.

    This Salmon Pinwheels recipe can easily be converted to a low-carb or Keto pinwheel recipe. The only change required is using a low-carb tortilla instead.

    Another option is to use "Folios Cheese Wraps" which are sold at Costco. These regular-sized tortillas look similar to tortillas but are made entirely of cheese.

    They come in a variety of cheese flavors. These include cheddar, Jarlsberg Swiss, and Parmesan.
