Instructions

Make the Filling: In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and dry ranch dip mix. Stir until smooth and well blended. Then mix in the diced red bell pepper, chopped black olives, green onions, and the chopped deli ham until evenly incorporated.
Assemble Wraps: Lay a tortilla flat and spread a generous, even layer of the cream cheese filling over the surface, leaving a small border at the edges. Roll the tortilla tightly to form a log shape, ensuring the filling holds inside securely.
Chill: Place the rolled tortillas seam-side down on a tray or plate. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up the pinwheels, making them easier to slice and handle.
Slice & Serve: Using a sharp knife, cut the chilled rolled tortillas into 1-inch wide pinwheels. Arrange them on a serving platter and serve cold as a delicious party appetizer.

Notes

For best results, use full-fat cream cheese and allow it to soften at room temperature before mixing.
Customize the veggies by adding shredded carrots, chopped cucumbers, or spinach for variation.
These pinwheels can be made a day ahead and refrigerated longer if tightly wrapped in plastic wrap.
Use gluten-free tortillas to make this recipe gluten-free.
Thinly slice tortillas for easier rolling and better pinwheel appearance.
Serve with extra ranch dressing for dipping, if desired.
