How to Make Christmas Tree Pinwheels

Begin by stirring together the Laughing Cow wedges and ranch seasoning until smooth. This creates a tangy, creamy layer that helps everything stick together.

Mix the chopped ham, diced red pepper, diced green pepper, and reduced-fat Mexican cheese in a separate bowl.

Spread the ranch cheese mixture onto each spinach tortilla, then sprinkle the ham and pepper mixture evenly over the top.

Roll the tortillas tightly into logs and refrigerate them for 30–60 minutes so they slice cleanly.

Cut each tortilla into 8 pieces. Remove the end pieces if they don’t have enough filling.

Arrange the pinwheels on a platter in rows, forming a Christmas tree shape. Tuck fresh rosemary sprigs along the edges to look like evergreen branches.

I used a slice of cheese to cut out a star shape and placed it on the top of the tree.

Serving Suggestions

Add a small bowl of light ranch or Greek yogurt dip on the side.

Fill in any empty spaces with extra cherry tomatoes or fresh herbs for a fuller look.

Chill until ready to serve, these hold up beautifully for hours!
