Place cream cheese in a microwavable bowl, cover it with a paper towel, and microwave for 30 seconds or until the cheese softens. Sprinkle the cheese with ranch seasoning and mix to combine.
Dice all the vegetables and add them to the cream cheese filling. Mix until all the ingredients are incorporated. Finally, fold in flaked smoked salmon.
Divide the cream cheese filling 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.
Wrap each smoked salmon roll in saran plastic wrap and chill them for a few hours to allow them to set. Once chilled, slice each roll into ten slices, and serve!

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. Another option is to make 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.
